The “cycle of poverty,” a myth manufactured and sustained by the Parsonian pundits of social theory and welfare, has blamed the victims of oppression with impunity. Brij Mohan deconstructs Oscar Lewis’ Culture<i> </i>of Poverty theory and its applications in the fields of social welfare, policy, and development. Poverty, a global scourge, is defined as a political rather than an economic issue. The implications of this formulation paradigmatically shift the focus of discourse in the social sciences. <i>Development, Poverty of Culture, and Social Policy</i> offers an interdisciplinary analysis of complex issues, constructs, and interventions that deal with human-social problems with global implications. “Poverty of Culture” posits social development theory and practice in a critically important context challenging the scientific orthodoxy of our times.
