Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond
fast-paced
4.0
Tax the rich!
This book was pretty similar, I think, to his previous book about evictions and poverty. Both books follow the intersection of race and poverty and how America fails our most vulnerable groups.
This book was full of a lot of information that we kind of know, in theory, but it was nice to have all the facts laid out. Like, I knew that people of color, specifically black folks, are more likely to have poorer housing conditions and be living paycheck to paycheck.
Very enjoyable read, I love his voice and the way he presents information. Highly recommend.
