Poverty, by America (2023) is an in-depth exploration of poverty in the United States, one of the world’s wealthiest countries. Sociologist Matthew Desmond draws from his personal experiences, other people’s stories, and extensive research to highlight the harsh realities of poverty. Extending far beyond low income, poverty encompasses a complex web of interconnected challenges such as housing instability, job insecurity, and psychological harm. Desmond explains how the privileged contribute to this disparity and proposes ways to eliminate it, envisioning an America where prosperity is shared rather than hoarded by elites.
