The '''Cloward - Piven Strategy''' is a plan of action developed by '''Richard Cloward''' and his wife '''[[Frances Fox Piven]]''', the namesakes for the strategy.  The plan entails collapsing the [[U.S.]] economy by overburdening the welfare roles in a way which would leverage unheard of levels of spending and debt to the point of total systemic collapse.  Cloward and Piven wrote about their plan in an article they co-authored in the 1960s called "Mobilizing the Poor: How it Could Be Done." Later, it was published in ''[[The Nation]]'', under the title "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty."
