[lbo-talk] Antidote to welfare reform boosterism

[Auguste Blanqui]

There's a torrent of articles coming out now celebrating the 'success' of a
decade since welfare reform, 'success' being defined principally as a drop
in welfare recepients and a marginal rise in aggregate wages for those
previously on rolls.

Does anyone know of an empirically rigorous study/journal article that
perhaps paints a more developed, less rosy picture?  There's a PhD
dissertation I found on my desk, but I'm wondering if there's anything else.
