Reviews
A splendid introduction to and review of the attitudes in the United States toward the poor and of efforts to ameliorate their condition...Patterson treats his subject with verve, energy, and considerable style...No one with any interest in the subject can afford to ignore it., [Patterson's] perspective on poverty continues to be an influential one in the debate about which policies help and which hurt the poor ... Readers will be reminded of many things they had forgotten, will learn some things they never knew, and will be provoked to new questions.

- e***t (7)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseHonest, responsive seller who will do right by the buyer. Book came in worse condition than described (supposed to be no writing or highlighting, but had rainbow highlighting all over and writing). However, upon notification and photos, seller immediately made the situation right. Gave a significant discount (if I kept the book) or offered a full refund (if I returned the book). I opted to keep the book. Due to their customer service, I highly recommend this seller and would shop w them againFederal Income Taxation (University Casebook Series) [Hardcover] Simmons, (#335963934734)
