by Clarence Carson. First published in 1969 this updated 1991 edition includes two new chapters and a new index. In this book Carson ably describes how state welfare programs, sometimes described by their advocates as a War on Poverty, have been in practice a war on the poor. He demonstrates the disastrous effects on the poor-on farmers, small businessmen, urban dwellers and wage earners-of the very programs intended to aid them. Very applicable today to the growing tendency today toward more and more government planning and control over the personal and economic affairs of all Americans. Paperback. Young adults and up.
