Excerpts About Poverty

|Page # |Author’s Name or Title of |Excerpt from Book or Website |

| |Website Article | |

|(No page number |World Socialist Movement |"Policies of governments and companies are keeping people poor. Policies that ensure global trade benefits the |

|required for | |rich, not the poor—the three richest men in the world are wealthier than the 48 poorest countries combined.” |

|internet source) | | |

| |World Poverty, A Look at |“Two issues have been preventing most governments from handling poverty well ; |

|(No page number |Causes and Solutions |1. Most governments in both rich and poor countries do not see poverty-reduction as being any priority to them, |

|required for | |and so do not make much attempt to reduce poverty. The wider benefits of reducing poverty are not widely |

|internet source) | |understood. |

| | |2. The few governments in rich or poor countries that do see poverty-reduction as being of some priority to them,|

| | |have commonly wasted much of the resources they use in mistaken attempts at poverty reduction from not |

| | |understanding their best policy options for that.” |

|7 |Ruby K. Payne |“To better understand students and adults from poverty, a working definition of poverty is ‘the extent to which |

| | |an individual does without resources.’” |

| |John Edwards |“Poverty is America’s great moral challenge in our time, and it will take all of us to meet it. This is not a |

|132 | |problem that can be left to the government alone. This is a problem that requires the will and commitment of all |

| | |of us, working as voters, as citizens, and as neighbors. It requires us to make demands of our leaders and |

| | |ourselves.” |

| |Shannon Daley-Harris |"Poverty is more than just a lack of money — it is a lack of opportunity, rights, and resources. It is created by|

|24 | |ill health and poor or no health care, inadequate housing and transportation, illiteracy, and racial and gender |

| | |discrimination.” |

|3 |Muhammad Yunus |“Poverty is created by economic, social, and political systems, and by false ideas—not by the laziness, |

| | |ignorance, or moral failings of the poor.” |

| |Scott Myers-Lipton |“Poverty is a description of want of the basic needs of life, as well as a set of |

| | |relationships operating in a social structure. Thus, poor people have difficulty |

|15 | |providing themselves with food, shelter, health care, and education. The poor |

| | |also are at the bottom of the American social hierarchy, so they have difficulty in obtaining power and status.” |

|(No page number |Who is Poor? |“The existing official measure of poverty has been widely criticized. Under the procedures by which the official |

|required for | |poverty rate is calculated, only cash income is counted in determining whether a family is poor; cash welfare |

|internet source) | |programs count, but benefits from noncash programs, such as food stamps, medical care, social services, education|

| | |and training, and housing are not included.” |

|(No page number |The Poor |“There are two main reasons American children are poor: Their parents don’t work much, and fathers are absent |

|required for | |from the home. In good economic times or bad, the typical poor family with children is supported by only 800 |

|internet source) | |hours of work during a year—that amounts to 16 hours of work per week. If work in each family were raised to |

| | |2,000 hours per year—the equivalent of one adult working 40 hours per week through the year—nearly 75% of poor |

| | |children would be lifted out of official poverty.” |
