Reviews

'Recommended. Students of political thought will find Macnicol's interpretations thought provoking.' - R S Rycroft, CHOICE


'What was the underclass debate in the United States, and what impact did it have on social policy there? By exploring how the debate evolved in the second half of the twentieth-century, Macnicol presents a strong argument for the role of ideas about poverty and dependency in the rise of neoliberalism in the United States, and a valuable critique of the ideas of the leading figures of the movement. The book's greatest strength lies in the breadth of material covered, and the engagement with the key arguments of relevant authors, both conservatives and liberals.' - Mickey Conn, Social Policy & Administration 'Recommended. Students of political thought will find Macnicol's interpretations thought provoking.' - R S Rycroft, CHOICE
