22392, Culture of Poverty? Posted by k_orr, Fri Aug-11-00 03:34 AM
Do you believe in it?
From William Niskanen "Welfare is both a consequence and a cause of several conditions best described as social pathologies. These conditions include dependency, poverty, out-of-wedlock births, nonemployment, abortion, and violent crime. The basic hypothesis of this study is that welfare dependency and the other pathologies are jointly determined and are derivative of a common set of other conditions."
