Thanks to Storygraph and the author for the giveaway in which I got this ebook.
——————-
It’s a good entry level text about poverty, I would use it with my high school students. I believe that being a bit more critical of capitalism as a system would’ve given it a good insight. Coming from a marxist-leninist perspective it sure is useful to see what the other side is saying but I have to say for some of these it was quite tone deaf, I’m still reeling about the idea of “exploring a burgeoning market” in menstrual products as if these ought not be a human right. Alas, it does a good job of compiling poverty theories and worldwide experiences fighting for its eradication so kudos on that.
