Publisher's Synopsis
"Poor Britain" was a pioneering work in the study of relative poverty, providing a graphic report on the growing incidence of poverty in Britain. The book looked, in particular, at people's attitude towards poverty and the welfare state - what would constitute poverty in their own lives, or in the lives of others?;"Breadline Britain in the 1990s" is a revised, up-to-date look at this issue. Poverty is the sole focus of the text and the authors provide information on trends since 1985.
