Identifies reasons behind Owsley County's ongoing struggle with poverty, including the county's lack of natural resources, and a centralized socio-political power structure controlled by the elite. This study asserts that Owsley County's economic hardships are representative of a number of similarly-stricken Appalachian counties and towns.
