Poverty, by America

by
Matthew Desmond

published in

2023
Cover of Poverty, by America
May 13, 2024 Jade B says:
Have you ever wondered "what’s wrong with this country?" Well, prepare to be both disheartened and enlightened.
Drawing on history, research and original reporting, the author reimagines the debate on poverty, revealing there is so much poverty in America not in spite of our wealth but because of it, and builds a startlingly original case for eliminating poverty in our country.

I work in the circulation department. When it comes to books, I have an eclectic taste; gothic classics, LGBT+ graphic novels, sustainable fashion manuals and psych/neuro reads are some of my go-tos! When I'm not reading, I enjoy making art, planning parties and spending time with my partner and our cat, Punk.
