Sociology
Murray thought that the ‘underclass’ consisted of people who:
formed an inferior ‘race’ with low levels of intelligence
lived morally unsound lives of crime and squalor
were too reliant upon welfare benefits
all of the above
all of the above
The idea of an ‘underclass’ is associated with right-wing politics and stems from the work of Charles Murray. He suggested that rather than suffering any structural, institutional disadvantage (such as racism), those who were in poverty were inherently inferior in some way. Murray pointed to the ‘culture of poverty’ that he observed in inner city ghettos, characterized by high crime rates, lone parenting, unemployment and reliance on welfare benefits, and low levels of intelligence. He thought that those born and socialized into such a culture could not avoid being poor. 729-731
