The topic is poverty and the underclass. The profound truth that Marvin Olasky forces us to confront is that the problems of the underclass are not caused by poverty. Some of them are exacerbated by poverty, but we know that they need not be caused by poverty, for poverty has been the condition of the vast majority of human communities since the dawn of history, and they have for the most part been communities of stable families, nurtured children, and low crime. It is wrong to think that writing checks will end the problems of the underclass, or even reduce them. - Preface. Note de contenu : Preface / Charles Murray -- Introduction : The current impasse -- The early American model of compassion -- Turning cities into countryside -- First challenge to the charity consensus -- The Social Darwinist threat -- Proving Social Darwinism wrong -- The seven marks of compassion -- And why not do more? -- Excitement of a new century -- Selling new deals, old wineskins -- Revolution and its heartbreak -- Questions of the 1970s and the 1980s -- Putting compassion into practice -- Applying history.
