Description
Work, Consumerism and the New Poor explores how poverty has changed in modern society. In a world built around consumer choices rather than work and professional skills, being poor is no longer solely about unemployment, but also about struggling with everyday life.
The book examines this shift over time, making an inventory of its social consequences and considering effective ways to fight poverty and alleviate its hardships.
