Economists are accumulating evidence that instead of being indolent layabouts, poor people are harried and frantic, which results in subpar decisions. By Noah Smith, Feb. 20

I hate these definitive statements. Of course poverty includes laziness, bad luck, poor starting points, personality/physical appearance and capabilities, psychological problems, health issues, changes in community & inability to relocate, economic shifts, caring situation for others, and many other factors. Like any analysis, some will have a more pronounced effect than others.

I get your point totally but I just ignore declarative headlines like that, they are just to draw eyeballs, is common, got to go to the story to get the nuance. I was just glad to see economists are finally studying this aspect of the problem that sociology already knows.
