The world is in the midst of the telecommunications revolution. What this means is that societies throughout the world are now provided with new opportunities to solve nagging problems. One problem, which is the focus of this book, is the continual pockets of poverty that exist in countries around the world. In this regard welfare reform has been slow in coming, as nations struggle to allocate limited resources for meeting the needs of the citizens within their boundaries. This book describes a welfare model that can be implemented in any country in the world, although the example used in this book is that of one country. The welfare reform model suggested here is about freedom, opportunity, and equality. At its conclusion it challenges the reader to take welfare reform to the next level.
