Another perspective on an old, but important discussion. Why is poverty so persistently intractable among those with the most problems? Is it because they have the least of everything? Do they become so dispirited that they cannot even respond to existing aid and support initiatives? If so, what does that imply for social policy, more aid and support or less? Among people who responsibly share community, doesn't it have to be more?
