Editor's Note:
Based on interviews with a sampling of low-income people and those providing services to them, Patric Burman draws from front-line accounts about the modes of giving, receiving and acting in the modern welfare state. The more general concepts — power, agency, pauperism and poverty — draw from the later work of Michel Foucault and his students on govermentality, as well as other sources in interpretive and critical social science.
