VOM ENDE EINER AUSGRENZUNG? - ARMUT UND SOZIOLOGIE Von Stephan Leibfried und Wolfgang Voges (in Zusammenarbeit mit Lutz Leisering) Die wissenschaftliche Beschaftigung mit Armut ist durch zyklische Schwankungen gekennzeichnet, die vom historischen Kontext bestimmt werden.

The authors argue that while the market has been the major cause of increasing net inequalities, the trend towards supply orientation in most social policy fields has...
