(H) 376-382: Gans, The Uses of Poverty

I didn’t know that the poor support the functionalist thesis. There was 13 reasons how the poor is important and is overlooked. This made me really think about how my family helps and are hard workers. People being poor help out the world a lot and I realized that reading the 23 reasons how the poor does help. I new the poor are always hard workers and they pay for what they need. The poor can ” have access to enough capital to take over the provider role….. if they were more affluent.” This is really true because the poor does a lot. This chapter really helped me understand the importances of the poverty.
