Poverty, by America

Matthew Desmond

Book cover for Poverty, by America

I thought this was going to be a lot longer than it actually was based on my Kindles reading percentage, but more than half the pages in the Kindle version are endnotes. The book is a little bit depressing cos it's talking about the obvious of how America has such a big divide between rich and poor, mostly due to politics and the optics of people determining welfare as unfair - even though really the middle and upper classes get tax cuts which isn't seen as welfare but is sort of the same thing.
