Cycles of Disadvantage - How is Poverty, Disadvantage and Social Deprivation passed on from one generation to another? Is it just "bad luck", "genetic", "bad people", "bad neighbourhoods" or "just one of those things: the poor are always with us" (just as the rich are)"? This Research Study examines the complex reasons (the politics of poverty, the social processes, the social values and contradictions, the economics of poverty etc.) to explain why poverty and disadvantage is transmitted from one generation to the next and will NOT go away! It also examines why some communities continue to be poor and deprived for years and years, decades even.... This Book is really worth reading! Shipped from the UK.
