Separate Societies

Poverty and Inequality in U.S. Cities

By: William W. Goldsmith,Edward James Blakely

Economic and political forces no longer combat poverty—they generate poverty!" exclaim William Goldsmith and Edward Blakely in their report on the plight of American's urban poor. Focusing on the reality of separation—social segmentation, economic inequality, and geographic isolation—the authors examine the presence and persistence of urban poverty, the transformation of national industry into a global economy, and the dilemmas of local reform. Goldsmith and Blakely document the appalling conditions of poor and minority people in central cities, examining those conditions in relation to inequalities in the national distributions of income and wealth. They analyze the connections between the structure and movement of the new global economy and the problems of the poorest Americans. They demonstrate how globalized markets and production arrangements have worsened the opportunities facing most American cities and workers. Noting that neither economic growth nor public subsidy has solved the problems of the poor, Goldsmith and Blakely propose that the very separation that exacerbates poverty be used to motive restructure.The authors maintain that when those in power locally respond to the pressure exerted by those suffering from inequality and isolation, community-level institutions will be restructured. These multi-local coalitions of small businesses and neighborhood organizations need to press for reallocation of federal resources in favor of domestic needs and redirection of the national economic favor of workers and common citizens. Author note: William W. Goldsmith is Professor of City and Regional Planning and Director of the Program on International Studies in Planning at Cornell University. Edward J. Blakely is Professor of City and Regional Planning at the University of California, Berkeley.

A Pirate's Journey Ends

By: Edward A. Batory

A Pirate's Journey Ends is a classic tale. It is the story of two young London boys who are growing up in poverty. One of the boys has a friend who has gained wealth by sailing on a pirate ship. This friend convinces the two boys that once they become older they can both become wealthy by joining him on his pirate ship. While growing older they practice their sword fighting skills with wooden swords. When they reach the age of seventeen they join the pirate ship. They sail out into the Indian Ocean and board a merchant ship that has been trading with Africa. The ship is loaded with gold coins and diamonds. The two young boys are now rich and try to join the wealthy aristocrats at their monthly dance party held at the Woodington mansion.
