This is a great book, that was in very good condition. It evaluates child poverty in the United States, it provides examples of what has been done, how certain programs were effective,and then goes on to offer the authors solutions to the problem. Overall, it is pretty easy to read, gives background on all the polices it explains, and is informative. It engages the reader and makes them want to think critically about the education and social welfare programs available in the US. It is a good book to help one start thinking about policy analysis and learn to be critical of polices and pay attention to who is reviewing them.

This is a well written book that is interesting and thought provoking. Duncan Lindsey lays out an argument that is compelling and easy to read. If more politicians were to read this book, this country would be in better financial shape than it is today. This book is about children and the growing gap between rich and poor, but it is also about all of us and the future of our society. The more successful our children are, the more our society prospers. Lindsey's idea of a fund to help all children go to college is progressive and a step in the right direction to keep our economy robust and maintain our standing in the world.
