Sociologist and political scientist Frances Fox Piven and her late husband Richard Cloward have been famously credited by Glenn Beck - the right-wing Fox News presenter - with devising a world view responsible for everything from creating a culture of poverty to fomenting violent revolution, causing global warming and the recent financial crisis. Called an 'enemy of the people' by Beck, Fox Piven has become public enemy fodder for the American right. This is a concise introduction to her actual thinking, from welfare rights to voting habits and progressive reform.
