{"product_id":"assets-and-the-poor-michael-sherraden-9781563240669","title":"Assets and the Poor: New American Welfare Policy","description":"This work proposes a new approach to welfare: a social policy that goes beyond simple income maintenance to foster individual initiative and self-sufficiency. It argues for an asset-based policy that would create a system of saving incentives through individual development accounts (IDAs) for specific purposes, such as college education, homeownership, self-employment and retirement security. In this way, low-income Americans could gain the same opportunities that middle- and upper-income citizens have to plan ahead, set aside savings and invest in a more secure future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Sherraden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1563240661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781563240669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 5.88w x 1.03d","brand":"Michael Sherraden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930844479743,"sku":"9781563240669","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc3ce28b-fdec-4e3f-858e-b14581576d9f.jpg?v=1766344657","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/assets-and-the-poor-michael-sherraden-9781563240669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
