SynopsisMoffie and Morgie are excited. A new girl is joining their class. But Carole Anne is a bully, pushing Moffie and grabbing Morgie's dinosaur book, and that's only the beginning. Then Morgie goes looking for dinosaur eggs on a Saturday morning and finds Carole Anne crying. He discovers why she is so unhappy, and at school Morgie introduces his new friend. She tells everyone how sorry she is for being so nasty. Now everyone has a friend, and school is fun again!, The new poverty is about the economic fall of individuals and countries who used to be affluent and who once dreamed that their affluence would go on forever. It is about the experience of free-falling, without a parachute and without much of a safety net. The new poverty is about people who lose their jobs when their company downsizes. It is about people whose hours of employment are cut in half when the work runs out. And it is about couples who separate, thereby plunging one of them-and probably their children-into a low income level that they had never anticipated. What is new about the new poverty is the sense of surprise-that poverty can hit so suddenly, that people can fall so far before they are caught and lifted up, that the poverty of children still troubles us after a century of progress. The new poverty is about our loss of faith not only in relationships that were once thought to last a lifetime, but also in government programs that we believed would last for generations. Cheal translates the experience of the new poverty into sociological theory and into social statistics. His purpose is to provoke serious, critical reflection about families today and the risks of being poor. An important study for scholars and researchers involved with family issues and social policy.
