"America is a country of paradox: the world's greatest wealth together with deeply entrenched poverty in its many forms, including homelessness, hunger, unsafe water, under-provisioned schools, and unaffordable energy, transport, health, and other basic needs.
At a time of crisis when we are re-envisioning and reconstructing our relationship with government and with each other, this is the book we need." - Mona Hanna-Attisha, author of What the Eyes Don't See and pediatrician in Flint, Michigan "In the richest country in the history of the world, an eye-opening and humanizing testament to the realization that no one should be poor. Joanne Samuel Goldblum, CEO and founder of the National Diaper Bank Network, and Colleen Shaddox, a journalist and activist, give a book shedding light on the realities faced by those living in poverty across the United States and provide a road map for eradicating poverty via policy change.
