The Road to Poverty (book)

"The Road to Poverty" by Peter H. Rossi explores how poverty persists over time, emphasizing that it isn't solely due to individual failings but also influenced by structural factors like limited access to quality education, healthcare, and stable employment. Rossi examines how social, economic, and policy conditions create barriers that prevent people from escaping poverty. The book highlights the importance of understanding these systemic issues to develop effective solutions, showing that poverty is often a cycle maintained by societal inequalities rather than personal shortcomings alone.
