The Road to Poverty: The Making of Wealth & Hardship in Appalachia by Kathleen M. Blee,

The Road to Poverty: The Making of Wealth & Hardship in Appalachia by Kathleen M. Blee,
Intended for social scientists, historians, and readers interested in social change and social poverty, this book examines the roots of entrenched poverty in Appalachia. It is both a social history of the creation of chronic poverty (and wealth) in Clay County, KY and an explication of how economic markets, cultural strategies, and the state interact to shape local society. By linking a longitudinal study of a single place to broader understandings of the historical development of the capitalist world system, this book contributes to policy discussions of the underlying causes of persistent rural poverty and reasons for the chronic failure of governmental programs to alleviate such poverty. In doing this study the authors have assembled probably the longest running set of longitudinal data currently available on an American rural population as well as the most extensive body of data available for a persistently poor community in the United States.



Wealth and Poverty by George Gilder,
Wealth and Poverty by George Gilder,
A worldwide bestseller when first published in 1981, Gilder's classic was returned to print with a new introduction that reminds us how far we have come and how far we have to go. Centralized economic planning, he argues, has failed because it assumes wealth is tangible and limited. Capitalism recognizes the truth - that wealth is transitory, that its source is creativity, courage, and technological adventure. Without entrepreneurs, there is no wealth to distribute.



The Wealth and Poverty of Nations - The Wealth and Poverty of Nations is a book by David Landes, currently Emeritus Professor of Economics and former Coolidge Professor of History at Harvard University.

The Pearl (novel) - The Pearl (1947) is a novella by John Steinbeck which tells the story of a poor Mexican who finds a magnificent pearl which he hopes will improve his family's life; however, he finds that his new wealth brings only corruption of the soul and the blinding luxuries of "civilized" life. Like many of Steinbeck's works, the book primarily addresses the issues of poverty, wealth and an unjust society, particularly focusing on wealth's corrupting effect on relationships and its connection with happiness.

Poverty reduction - Poverty reduction or poverty alleviation is the weak form of poverty eradication. Two types of poverty are recognised - income poverty and non income poverty.

Wealth condensation - Wealth condensation is a theoretical process by which, in certain conditions, newly-created wealth tends to become concentrated in the possession of already-wealthy individuals or entities. According to this theory, those who already hold wealth have the means to invest in new sources of creating wealth or to otherwise leverage the accumulation of wealth, thus are the beneficiaries of the new wealth.
