Truth and Lies about Poverty: Ending Comfortable Might about Poverty

By: Johnston, Louis

Emphasis is placed on the myth of poverty in this book, Truth, and Lies, which also discusses social and emotional poverty. The problem of poverty must be addressed in a way that goes far beyond charitable giving and handouts, the reader is made to realize.

Poverty is much more than just a lack of money or other resources. The main goal of this book, even though it exposes past and present social development initiatives that unintentionally harm the people they are meant to help, is to offer tested solutions that encourage society and the government to assist the underprivileged in becoming self-sufficient.

When Helping Hurts ignites the notion that lasting change for those who are poor comes from the inside out, not the other way around. People living in poverty face difficulties that are almost completely unknown to those who are middle-class or wealthy. These difficulties can come from both obvious and covert sources.

Being poor forces one to adopt a survival mentality and diverts attention from opportunities that other people take for granted. Understanding how different their world is from yours will be invaluable if you work with people who live in poverty. This ground-breaking book provides you with useful, real-world support and guidance to increase your effectiveness when working with people from all socioeconomic backgrounds, whether you're an educator or a social, health, or legal services professional.

Thousands of educators and other professionals, as well as readers of Truth and Lies about Poverty, will be guided through the pitfalls and obstacles that all classes, but particularly the poor, must overcome.

Framework, a carefully compiled and researched book, not only outlines the realities of poverty but also offers helpful yet sympathetic solutions for reducing its negative effects on people's lives.
