Course Title:
Assets and Social Policy
Course Description:
Examines how asset building has emerged as a community development strategy and policy innovation. Explores the shift from consumption-oriented social assistant to asset-based policy in the United States. Overall, asset accounts are the most rapidly growing form of domestic policy. This policy development occurs in the context of increasing income and wealth inequality. Asset-based policies have the potential to exacerbate inequality further, and are doing so because the poor are not included. Examines the significance of assets and how at the present time public policy is part of the structure of asset inequality. Explores asset building policy innovations.
