Living on the Edge: The Realities of Welfare in America
by By Rank, Mark Robert
Category: Political Science , Public Policy , Social Services & Welfare

This acclaimed book powerfully depicts a side of the welfare experience rarely seen, dispelling the myth that only an urban underclass—the center of most policy debate—struggles on welfare. Rank's juxtaposition of numbers and faces demonstrates that welfare recipients share much in common with the rest of the population.
