paperispower 's review for:
Read this book to get a better understanding of how social welfare policy is shaped and the effect of that policy on real people. I got a little lost in some of the chapters devoted to the political backdrop for the 1996 welfare-to-work revolution because I just couldn't keep all the players straight. However, the majority of the book is highly accessible, readable, and illuminating. The chapters on the three women whose lives the author uses to track the impact of this legislative overhaul are incredible, as is the expose of Wisconsin's privatization of state program management.
