Can People Be Moved Out Of Poverty?

"Twenty years ago, federal poverty experts, inspired by the forceful arguments in the landmark book 'The Truly Disadvantaged,' as well as by definitive research on the harmful effects of segregation, initiated a government experiment that moved 855 low-income predominantly African-American and Hispanic families out of public housing in poverty-stricken urban areas into less impoverished neighborhoods. The results of the project have provoked an intense debate." Thomas B. Edsall in The New York Times.
