- Synopsis
- While it is difficult to generalize about the problems of poverty, a number of things are clear. For one thing, while poverty has long been the common experience of man, in a rich society poverty is the leading contradiction of our time. For another, far from being uplifting, as some have thought, poverty is degrading and is a harsh and cruel experience for those who are caught in its grip. It is also clear that we have within our society the means by which the side- effects of poverty may be at least partially reduced, even if poverty itself is not likely to be totally eliminated in the foreseeable future.
