Figures such as these suggest devastating repercussions for health, education and life expectancy. The new poor, however, is an even larger group than these official statistics suggest, and its conditions are something new to our era. More often than not, these people are the working poor, living precariously and betrayed by austerity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe New Poverty\u003c\/i\u003e, Stephen Armstrong tells the stories of the most vulnerable in British society. He explores an unreported country, abandoned by politicians and stranded as the welfare state has shrunk. Furthermore, as benefit cuts continue into 2018 and beyond, Armstrong asks what will be the long-term impact of Brexit and--on the anniversary of the Beveridge Report--what we can do to keep the giants of indigence at bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Armstrong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786634635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786634634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Stephen Armstrong","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46927901262079,"sku":"9781786634634","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_125de15c-c5df-4df4-8e8b-abeab4875430.jpg?v=1749373321","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-poverty-stephen-armstrong-9781786634634","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
