Poverty

Across three fascinating chapters, readers will evaluate whether poverty is a problem, what its real causes are, and whether poverty can be reduced. Essays are arranged in a for-or-against sequence so readers obtain a balanced view of each issue discussed. Is poverty in America transitory? Does economic colonialism cause poverty? Is the press failing to report about the reality of poverty? These thoughtful questions and others are debated and answered, allowing your students to form intelligent opinions.
