Synopsis

The authors examine the U.S. welfare system―its recipients and providers, and the policy ideas surrounding it―with objectivity and clarity. Focusing on the AFDC Program (Aid to Families with Dependent Children), they identify three models that have been used to explain “welfare dependency” and test them against an accumulating body of evidence.
