Poverty by America by Matthew Desmond

Poverty by America by Matthew Desmond broadly addresses poverty in America from a high level ideologue perspective. I think Evicted was a far better book and frankly, I didn't really like this book. Poverty by America felt outdated in its call to consumer action and unsubstantiated. It felt like a conceptual book about ideas and what we all should do; it wasn't educational and felt written for those who already agree. The book did not deep dive into any particular piece of poverty, but rather touched on a various facets of sociological impacts and trends surrounding poverty. I could say a lot more on this but frankly, I wouldn't recommend.
