POL 210 Politics of Poverty

Course Description

Poverty has created a plethora of social, political, and economic consequences in the United States. Yet policymakers have never been in agreement over whether and how it should be addressed, primarily because proposed solutions raise fundamental questions over values, rights, and resources. What is the politics behind these proposed policy solutions? Which programs implemented to combat poverty have been judged more effective, and what are the consequences of enduring poverty in the United States? HBSI, Fall semester, even years.
