In this impactful book, Simon chronicles his journey: relating his personal experiences, looking critically at each agency he was employed by, and reflecting upon their shortcoming-both theirs and his-at removing clients and their families from the root ill of poverty. Painful though it might be, Simon recognizes that it's only through asking the question \"Was I part of the problem or part of the solution?\" that any real progress can be made in the War on Poverty-a war launched by President Lyndon B. Johnson half a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough this process of rigorous scrutiny, Simon illustrates that the original methods of education, mentorship, and monitoring of the downtrodden, as practiced by those who came to America on the Mayflower, are what gave this country a foundation for greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45498333921431,"sku":"9781519650535","price":980.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781519650535.webp?v=1767155575","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/frontline-human-services-delivery-1970-2011-was-i-part-of-the-problem-or-part-of-the-solution-9781519650535","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
