There are other countries who went much further in their support for the poor, with much better outcomes.
...and to argue this along racial lines is simply preposterous. The idea that allowing businesses to discriminate poor minorities would actually help them is the worst kind of revisionism. The world has come a long way since the 60ies.

- devinhelton 10y agoThere are other countries who went much further in their support for the poor, with much better outcomes. This was the line taught in my freshman sociology class, but I have since been convinced that money spent on social welfare does not explain international differences in various social ills. The idea that allowing businesses to discriminate poor minorities would actually help them is the worst kind of revisionism. That is not what I argued.
- barry-cotter 10y ago> There are other countries who went much further in their support for the poor, with much better outcomes. Examples please. It's not true of Sweden or the rest of the Nordic countries and if anywhere has a more extensive system of social welfare I'm unfamiliar with it.
