I can only use one word to describe this book: WOW! It completely changed my paradigm of what I thought was poverty and helped me see what my part in poverty could be - whether as a contributor or as an abolitionist. This is not a problem we have to live with, apparently. And it’s neither a political one, though the politicians would like us to think differently. Wow.
Round up to a five. I wish Desmond would’ve also addressed Native American poverty and immigrant poverty. Seems like a big miss. Perhaps both are too big a topic on either of their own. Maybe the writer will write a book on these separately in a future project.
