Offering a time-based (dynamic) analysis of the study of poverty, this work suggests the need for a radical re-think of conventional theoretical and policy approaches. The core of this study is the empirical analysis of the life course of recipients of Social Assistance in Germany, although the conclusions are put into a wider context of socio-economic and socio-political analysis and comparative observations are made with other countries, notably the USA. The book should be of interest to upper-level students, researchers and policy-makers in a wide-range of social science disciplines, including: economics, social policy, sociology, psychology and European studies
