Preferred term

class analysis of poverty  

Definition(s)

  • MOST SOCIALISTS, especially Marxists, have long maintained that one cannot properly understand, nor can one adequately address, poverty without linking it to deeper issues of class and exploitation underlying capitalist social relations. Class analysis recognizes that within capitalist societies the vast majority of people are separated from the means of producing their basic subsistence, including food, clothing, housing, and other necessities.
