Kirja-arvosteluja
As important today, or possibly more so, than when it was written over fifty years ago. Any outrage over the shocking numbers inside can only be multiplied today by the sheer fact of national avoidance of the problem.
This is a depressing read because it's nearly 60 years old and yet so much of it is still true. LBJ's War on Poverty did lessen poverty, especially amongst the elderly. But too many of us believe in Reagan's quip that "we waged a war on poverty, and poverty won"--cutting benefits and giving up. Harrington's book still articulates the problems with conservative thinking on poverty, and his analyses of rural areas and black poverty still have a great deal of truth today.
