Redefining the Poverty Debate

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the limitations of current welfare policies, Kristian Niemietz argues for a shift in addressing poverty by tackling government interventions that inflate living costs. He critiques the silence of poverty advocacy groups on these issues and contrasts past pro-poor movements with today’s approaches. Niemietz advocates for radical market reforms and comprehensive welfare changes, including a negative income tax system and localized welfare decision-making, aimed at promoting work and supporting family formation.
