history of poverty  

Definición

  • PEOPLE OFTEN AVOID their poor relations, and historians, preferring to write about monarchs, wars, high politics, and diplomacy, only began writing systematically about poverty in the last 150 years. This shift was part of a greater focus on social history that began as a focus on social conditions, often called the “social question,” in Europe in the 19th century.
