Poverty and Wealth by John Scott
This important and authoritative new work by one of Britain's leading sociologists investigates the relationship between poverty and wealth. It considers the evidence of poverty and wealth in Britain from the nineteenth century to present day, drawing on the classic surveys on poverty undertaken by Booth, Rowntree and Townsend, and reviewing the leading debates on income distribution, property and wealth.
