Overview

The poverty rate in the USA has not dropped significantly since 1965. If the country continues to expect government and social services to take care of the poor, nothing is likely to change. The help of individuals is needed and this book shows that the task of eliminating poverty is in the hands of each citizen. The author introduces the Circles Campaign, an action plan that brings together the best efforts and resources of individuals, organisations and communities together with government in a programme proven to raise people out of poverty. The campaign has captured the imaginations of people of conscience across America. Readers learn how to approach the problem of poverty in America, expand social networks to connect with those outside their comfort zone, and start building Circles in their own community.

To achieve community sustainability, we must address issues of economic justice, which can occur only when there are relationships of mutual respect among the classes. The process that Scott Miller identifies to allow those relationships to develop is pure genius. -- Ruby K. Payne, PhD Author of the bestselling 'A Framework for Understanding Poverty'
