When the notion of social exclusion began to emerge in European discussion many poverty researchers were skeptical that it added value. However as time has passed more and more academics and policy makers are using the words and even trying to operationalise them in empirical research and tackle it in policy. Indeed new notions have been added - social inclusion, social quality. Yet in the US discourse it remains ignored. This paper is a review (by an early skeptic) of the theory and empirical practice of social exclusion and it will attempt to settle the question - is social exclusion merely a euphemism for poverty?
