This was really informative but almost too much at times. This read like a really interesting textbook about how we as a society create and perpetuate poverty. There were a lot of interesting facts about how America was affected by the pandemic and how the government creates a lot of situations where poverty is increased. This being said it is sooo dense and boring at times. I listened to the audio version which was great but I did zone out a few times. It's not what I would say fun but it is informative.
