The Underclass
Debates about the existence and possible membership / shape of "the underclass" have raged from time-to-time in both Britain and America and this section supplies a range of information that, we feel, encapsulates both sides of the argument.
The Murray and Phillips article ("The British Underclass 1990 - 2000") outlines a New Right perspective on underclass theory and social exclusion, while the article "Charles Murray and the Underclass: The Developing Debate" examines both sides of the debate from the viewpoint of a range of different writers.
