Cover Poverty, Crisis and Resilience
Poverty, Crisis and Resilience
Edited by
Marie Boost
,
Jennifer Dagg
,
Jane Gray
, and
Markus Promberger
Poverty remains a problem in Europe, raising the need for new solutions. In this thought-provoking book the contributors delve deeply into the everyday lives of poor households to see which practices and resources they apply to improve their situations. One of the book’s key findings is that social resilience requires a functioning welfare state operating at an increased level. In addition to sufficient welfare transfers, there is a need for low-commodified common goods to be made available not only for the registered poor but all low-income households.
