Paper Details: What are some of the other ideas that Harrington suggests for intergrating"the other america" into the mainstream of america socitey? How does he propose to achieve this integration

Harrington offered a number of suggestions on how to best integrate “The Other America” into the mainstream society. The author did not propose revolutionary socialist change in American Institutions. His ideas were indeed less radical than many other rallying trade unions, black leaders, women's groups, poor farmers or even liberal thinkers from political parties. In fact he wanted all these groups to jointly prod the federal government to offer "opportunities" to these helpless victims of the culture of poverty. He thought that this could lift their spirits and eventually help them break free from poverty.

Harrington’s main suggestions were free or almost free provision of health care for poor as well as the elderly, comprehensive civil-rights legislation, government funded educational as well as vocational programs to decrease unemployment, new innovative ways of providing federal housing subsidies, and more Security Income as well as greater Social Security benefits. He also encouraged the government to provide permanent guaranteed income enough to cover the minimum needs regardless of any reason why they were not working.
