Description

Does 'real' poverty still exist in Britain? How do people differentiate between the supposed 'deserving' and 'undeserving' poor? Is there a culture of worklessness passed down generation to generation? Poverty Propaganda: Exploring the myths sheds new light on how poverty is understood in contemporary Britain, debunking many popular myths and misconceptions about poverty, its prevalence, causes and consequences, and concluding with suggestions for change.
