The book details important changes in the politics and organization as well as the substance of poverty knowledge. Over the course of the twentieth century, O'Connor shows, the study of poverty became more about altering individual behavior and less about addressing structural inequality. The consequences of this steady narrowing of focus came to the fore in the 1990s, when the nation's leading poverty experts helped to end'welfare as we know it.'O'Connor shows just how far they had traveled from their field's original aims.
