Next week I’m going to blog a piece that is at once lucid, engaging, insightful, and flabbergasting: David Harvey and Michael Reeds “The Culture of Poverty: An Ideological Analysis.” (Sociological Perspectives, 1996) As far as I can tell, there’s only a gated version, but if you want to peek inside the intra-left debate on “culture of poverty” research, this is the place to start.

The link on the name is to David W. Harvey (famous Marxist geographer), and the paper is by David L. Harvey (sociologist–who confusingly also seems to write about Marx sometimes).

Bryan,
“lucid, engaging, insightful”? Obscure, tiresome, occasionally clear enough to be wrong.
Thomas Sowell would have a field day lampooning Harvey & Reed.

I think it is a waste of time to engage the worst alternatives to Libertarian ideas.

Not if the worst alternatives are nonetheless among the most popular alternatives.
