The problems of poverty in this abstract appear to be framed in terms of the authors' perceived solutions. What if we looked at the link between self perceptions of victimisation, life outcomes, and symptoms of poverty? I'd posit it's the necessary condition. The overlap in solutions, particularly education, financial independence, social equity are all there, but the difference would be chicken vs. egg, where authors like this would say the victimized identity is caused by the lack of these solutions, whereas many working people would say that inculcating and encouraging the beliefs that support that identity cause and reinforce the barriers to those solutions. The argument that individuals experience poverty for lack of a bureaucracy that is concerned with it should seem a bit specious. Or as W.H. Auden put it, "The friends of the born nurse Are always getting worse."
