3. The Book of the Month
The Poverty of Welfare: Helping Others in the Civil
Society
by Michael
Tanner
The 1996 Welfare Reform Act was the most significant
changes in social welfare policy in nearly 30 years. The Poverty of Welfare
examines the impact of that reform, looking at the context of welfare's history,
and concludes that while welfare reform was a step in the right direction, we
have a long way to go to fix the deeply troubled system.
Tanner suggests that we should be working toward the total elimination of
government welfare programs, substituting a renewed and invigorated program of
private charity and economic opportunity
