A review by emmas_bookshelf
Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond

informative medium-paced

4.5

Desmond walks the reader through the policies and oppressive systems that keep the impoverished down while offering tax breaks and welfare to the middle and upper classes. It was really fascinating to see the statistics and facts about how intertwined housing, class, race, and our economic systems work to keep people disenfranchised while offering breaks to the wealthy.
