AMERICAN DREAM: A bunch of links about Jason DeParle’s new book on poverty and welfare reform, which I’m hoping to read soon. I note that I have not read all of these links yet. But DeParle has seriously impressed me and I am very much looking forward to reading his book. (Hey, do you work for a publication that pays for stuff? Do you want a review? Guess what I can do for you!)

Anyway: Brookings Inst. panel on J DeP’s book.

Mickey Kaus, who likes the new book, critiques an earlier JDeP welfare piece.

Family Scholars with excellent book excerpt.
