Breadline Britain in the 1990s - Hardcover

The first edition, "Poor Britain", was a pioneering work in the study of relative poverty, providing a graphic report on the growing incidence of poverty in Britain. The book looked, in particular, at people's attitude towards poverty and the welfare state - what would constitute poverty in their own lives, or in the lives of others? "Breadline Britain in the 1990s" is a revised, up-to-date look at this issue. Poverty is the sole focus of the text and the authors provide information on trends since 1985. This book should be of interest to undergraduates and postgraduates of social policy, public administration, social economics and social work.
