Reviews
Mark Robert Rank's ambitious book, The Poverty Paradox, is said to be "a game changing examination of poverty and inequality. It provides the essential blueprint for finally combatting this economic injustice in the years ahead". * Craig R. Roach, New York Journal of Books *
Mark Rank, one of America's great poverty scholars, has done it again. In crystal clear prose, The Poverty Paradox walks readers through what we know about poverty in the United States, forwards a framework to understand why it persists, and offers evidence-strategies for how we can confront it. It will offer fresh insights to new students, long-time experts, and policymakers alike. * H. Luke Shaefer, Hermann and Amalie Kohn Professor of Social Justice and Social Policy at the Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan *
After reading Rank, Christians might decide that their vested interests should be in structures that alleviate wealth as much as those that alleviate poverty. * Adam Vander Tuig, The Christian Century *
Recommended. Undergraduates through faculty; professionals; general readers. * Choice *
