It argues for an asset-based policy that would create a system of saving incentives through individual development accounts (IDAs) for specific purposes, such as college education, homeownership, self-employment and retirement security. In this way, low-income Americans could gain the same opportunities that middle- and upper-income citizens have to plan ahead, set aside savings and invest in a more secure future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52157254238496,"sku":"NEW1563240661","price":65.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61xUmMHATkL.jpg?v=1786039542","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/assets-and-the-poor-new-american-welfare-policy-1563240661","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
