We Are Wrong About the Poor in America
Alexander argues against the view that the poor lack the will to work. He cites Brookings data showing similar work motivations across classes and urges policies beyond forced work, including last resort public jobs, broader minimum wage coverage, and restrained incentives. He critiques Nixon and McGovern approaches and notes New York's pilot welfare work check policy as ineffective due to personal and home factors.
