Book Description
"This book asks a simple question: Do federal social programs work? While the question may be straightforward, getting to an answer is complicated. To answer in the affirmative, federal social programs must ameliorate the social problems they target. In other words, social programs are intended to enhance the welfare of recipients. In essence, social programs seek to improve human behavior in ways that will make people better off ... As we will see, the provision of funding for social programs is often confused with effectiveness. The intentions of program supporters do not automatically translate into the desired results. Although this fact is seldom discusses openly, much less analyzed, by program supporters, the goal of the book is for supporters of federal social programs to seriously reassess their faith in the ability of the federal government to solve social problems"--Introduction.
