James A. Crone’s \u003cstrong\u003eHow Can We Solve Our Social Problems?,\u003cem\u003e Third Edition\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed to give students studying these types of social problems a sense of hope. Unlike the standard survey texts that focus heavily on the causes and consequences of problems, this book is devoted to analyzing possible solutions. It maintains a sense of sociological objectivity throughout, and without moralizing, describes what\u003cem\u003e could\u003c\/em\u003e be done in America and on a global scale, through government policies, private sector initiatives, and the collective actions of citizens, to address even our most pervasive social problems.","brand":"SAGE Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47046760366320,"sku":"9781506304830","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781506304830_p0.jpg?v=1763720888","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781506304830","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
