How the Poor Adapt to Poverty in Capitalism


Add your own review!

Overview

This study traces the ways in which those most detrimentally affected by the operation of the capitalist market economy manage their circumstances. Borrowing, begging, stealing, repair, emigration, family budgeting, second-economy activity, solace and release are all explored. They are shown to have timeless and universal qualities underestimated by the political right, with their emphasis on the poor's intellectual weakness or cultural deviancy, and by the left in the hope or expectation of resistance.
