LPP 48 w Les Ford | Work Is Key to Escape Poverty

Thank you for watching this week's episode of the "Let People Prosper" podcast. Today, I'm honored to be joined by Leslie Ford, adjunct fellow at the American Enterprise Institute Center on Opportunity and Social Mobility and senior fellow with the Alliance for Opportunity. We discuss: 1) The history of the war on poverty, how safety net programs evolved, and where the war on poverty stands today; 2) How safety net programs can discourage upward mobility and keep people trapped in poverty through penalties such as those on marriage; and 3) Data on what requirements help safety net recipients achieve long-lasting self-sufficiency and prosperity, and more.
