Description
A clear-eyed examination of poverty in the United States, this book reveals how millions of people can work hard and still struggle to afford food, housing, health care, and other basic necessities. Drawing on research, firsthand accounts, and years of experience, it challenges the myths and political assumptions that frame poverty as an individual failure rather than a systemic problem. The authors explore the policies, institutions, and economic forces that keep people financially insecure while highlighting practical pathways toward meaningful change. Accessible, compassionate, and urgent, the book offers both a deeper understanding of poverty and a call to build a more equitable society.
