Reviews

In this clearly written and well-researched book Anne Daguerre provides an insightful analysis of the successes and failures of the Obama administration's efforts to reduce poverty and inequality in the United States. She convincingly argues that the administration was serious in its efforts, but was hindered both by its own limited vision and also the fierce, and often effective, opposition from Republicans to even incremental changes to existing programmes and policies. Dr Alex Waddan, University of Leicester
