Original and illuminating as well as timely.\"-Sharon Thompson, Women's Review of Books\"Horowitz offers insights that should be considered in the debate over welfare reform. . . . Teen Mothers . . . places Horowitz's results in the context of major theories about the role of welfare in the U.S. and offers a microlevel critique of the implicit assumptions and probable consequences of each theory's approach to welfare reform.\"-Booklist\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51935847907616,"sku":"NEW0226353796","price":42.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/teen-mothers-citizens-or-dependents-0226353796","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
