Build a Better Bridge: Social Policy for The 21st Century (Lance Hillsinger)

Description

Build a Better Bridge: Social Policy for the 21st century discuses many of the social issues of the day: Gender and racial inequality in education and crime rates, capitalism’s positive role in job creation, the ever-growing concentration of wealth in America, the lack of affordable housing, the demographics of poverty, the cost and need for social welfare programs, and America’s economic standing in the world. Build a Better Bridge offers way that to improve the social welfare program of the War on Poverty, ways to increase graduation rates and reduce crime, and incentives (and disincentives) that are needed for capitalism to serve the greater good.
