- Summary
- "As America takes stock of the successes and shortcomings of the Clinton era welfare reforms, the authors convincingly demonstrate why New Hope could be a model for state and national policies to assist the working poor. Evidence based and insightfully written, Higher Ground illuminates how policymakers can make work pay for families struggling to escape poverty."--BOOK JACKET.
