(This book compares the distribution of family incomes and...)
This book compares the distribution of family incomes and the effect of social policy upon them in the United States, the United Kingdom and Sweden. There are three interwoven themes: the interaction of multiple sources in generating family income distribution; the dynamic role of women in the modern welfare economy; and the role of government transfers in accounting for the economic well-being of families in the middle of their life course. Throughout the book two perspectives are brought to bear on these themes. A systematic comparison is made to elucidate similarities and differences across the three countries, and family income distribution within each country is studied to see how it is affected by the multiplicity of income sources. In conclusion, the authors deal with the implications of the study for family economic well-being in the "crisis" economic circumstances of the 1980s.

This title is a classic work on social reform. It is an account of the origins and development of community action from its beginnings in the Ford Foundation Gray Area Programs and the President's Committee on Juvenile Delinquency, through the rise and decline of the War on Poverty and the Model Cities program. In the ruthlessly impartial examination of various poverty programs, two social scientists one British, one American--explain why programs of such size and complexity have only a minimal chance of success. They describe the realities of reform and point up how the conservatism of bureaucracy, the rivalries among political and administrative jurisdictions, and the apathy of the poor have often hindered national and local efforts. On the other hand, they show how these obstacles can be overcome by an imaginative combination of leadership, democratic participation, and scientific analysis. This second edition also contains a new chapter that was not included in the first edition. This new chapter, tries to set the study in a broader context: first, by interpreting the political motives and constraints that led to the adoption of community action as a principal strategy of a nationwide war on poverty and second, by discussing the underlying weaknesses of democracy that community action implied and sought to tackle. Distinguished by an analysis of the major critics of community action, the book provides a balanced perspective of the movement against its many foes. It is important reading for anyone engaged in planning or community action, whether as organizer, consultant, official, or politician.
