Description: About this productProduct InformationThis work proposes a new approach to welfare: a social policy that goes beyond simple income maintenance to foster individual initiative and self-sufficiency. It argues for an asset-based policy that would create a system of saving incentives through individual development accounts (IDAs) for specific purposes, such as college education, homeownership, self-employment and retirement security. In this way, low-income Americans could gain the same opportunities that middle- and upper-income citizens have to plan ahead, set aside savings and invest in a more secure future.Product IdentifiersPublisherRoutledgeISBN-101563240661ISBN-139781563240669eBay Product ID (ePID)792369Product Key FeaturesFormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishPublication Year1992DimensionsWeight16.8 OzHeight0.7in.Width9in.Length6in.
