Softcover. Yellow card covered stapled booklet. Condition: Fair to good, covers are generally lightly shelfworn and soiled with a pencil outline drawing of a church to the rear cover. 46pp. The theme of this pamplet is that the concept of functional poverty suggests that our standard of living causes distress and violence in our world. The author, Mildred Binns Young was born in 1901 in Wilmington, Ohio. She and her husband Wilmer J. Young led the first work camp organized by the American Friends Service Committee. They went on to establish the Delta Cooperative Farm in Rockdale, Mississippi. They moved to South Carolina where they continued practicing Quakerism with a social justice orientation in the rural south. This ministry lasted for nineteen years. From 1955 to 1966, they lived at Pendle Hill.
