Synopsis

Discover a practical plan for lifting families out of poverty with a living wage and child endowment.

This nonfiction exploration argues for a nationwide approach that ties wages to the needs of workers and their children, aiming to strengthen family life and economic stability.

The author examines how a family-based income system could replace or augment existing wage structures. It covers constitutional questions, funding methods, and the social impact of shifting from flat wages to a coordinated, benefits-based framework. Through historical context and policy analysis, the book makes a case for reform focused on mothers, children, and the broader economy.

  • Explanations of how a living wage and child endowment could work together to reduce poverty
  • Discussion of legal and political considerations surrounding wage policy
  • Analyses of costs, benefits, and potential effects on industry and families
  • Historical and global context showing where such policies have been debated or adopted

Ideal for readers of social policy, economics, and welfare reform seeking clear, grounded arguments.
