Ending Poverty presents a new approach to government policy, one that is capable of eliminating preventable poverty within the foreseeable future. This book proposes an aggressive, conservative, governmental reform plan that is institutionalized through an income contract between the individual and the government and will guarantee adequate income for all who participate. Based on three main principlesgovernment policy is more effective when it channels market forces than when it overrides them, individuals should have more control over the resources that government spends on their behalf, and access to a decent life free of poverty should be seen as a conditional right in American societythe book sets out reform guidelines for education, health care, housing, retirement savings, and taxation.
