The United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages? In this landmark book, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond draws on history, research, and original reporting to show how affluent Americans knowingly and unknowingly keep poor people poor. Those of us who are financially secure exploit the poor, driving down their wages while forcing them to overpay for housing and access to cash and credit. We prioritize the subsidization of our wealth over the alleviation of poverty, designing a welfare state that gives the most to those who need the least. And we stockpile opportunity in exclusive communities, creating zones of concentrated riches alongside those of concentrated despair. Some lives are made small so that others may grow. Elegantly written and fiercely argued, this compassionate book gives us new ways of thinking about a morally urgent problem. It also helps us imagine solutions. Desmond builds a startlingly original and ambitious case for ending poverty. He calls on us all to become poverty abolitionists, engaged in a politics of collective belonging to usher in a new age of shared prosperity and, at last, true freedom" $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 195-271) and index. 650 0 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Social Classes & Economic Disparity 650 0 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Poverty & Homelessness 650 0 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Policy 650 $a Poverty $x United States 650 $a Poverty $x Prevention 650 $a Poor 776 08 $i Online version: $a Desmond, Matthew. $t Poverty, by America $b First edition. $d New York : Crown, [2023] $z 9780593239926 $w (DLC) 2022052348 941 $a 90 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525042022.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515011746.0 952 $l RLPB371 $d 20240514011433.0 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430021525.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020317.0 952 $l CCPB522 $d 20240412010106.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20240411010048.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043956.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240402013526.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012810.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024849.0 952 $l FWPE284 $d 20240314011348.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305041935.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022827.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20240301010340.0 952 $l GQPB641 $d 20240213010254.0 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202015819.0 952 $l TWPC862 $d 20240120010137.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240119022857.0 952 $l YLPC314 $d 20240116010757.0 952 $l YSPD232 $d 20231220010950.0 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20231220010931.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214031741.0 952 $l EGPB605 $d 20231211201836.0 $m 362.5 DES 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207015022.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014305.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012315.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20231205010141.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20231201012102.0 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010801.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20231129010102.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033129.0 952 $l UKPD911 $d 20231115010533.0 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111010546.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20231109010045.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20231021032229.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011210.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033803.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20231005012803.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20230929011740.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20230922010258.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20230919010853.0 952 $l A2PD787 $d 20230902011919.0 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20230829010450.0 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20230822011936.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20230817010219.0 952 $l P1AX906 $d 20230815011413.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20230801011033.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20230725012008.0 952 $l NWPC663 $d 20230720012405.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100426.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230718014301.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20230718014031.0 952 $l NLPA993 $d 20230712120054.0 $m 362.5 DES 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011553.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230706011046.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20230704010425.0 952 $l WWPC305 $d 20230630011248.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015335.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20230627011435.0 952 $l XHPD657 $d 20230623010716.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20230621010223.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20230620010854.0 952 $l ZKPC437 $d 20230615010243.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20230614010245.0 952 $l PGAX715 $d 20230613151038.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20230602011142.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20230602010637.0 952 $l YGPC162 $d 20230527010630.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20230526011526.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20230523011513.0 952 $l JMPC081 $d 20230519013505.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010534.0 952 $l EXPC755 $d 20230505010159.0 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20230421010201.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230414010224.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230411012659.0 952 $l SVPC124 $d 20230406150735.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230406010111.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230405013418.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230405010232.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20230404020828.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230404020409.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230404020038.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230404012021.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230404010549.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20230404010202.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20230401010225.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20230329010457.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20230324010028.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2A5F20E8CA0911EDB3BE2A5529ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
