So Rich, So Poor

- Why It's So Hard to End Poverty in America

Bag om So Rich, So Poor

"A competent, thorough assessment from a veteran expert in the field." -Kirkus Reviews   Income disparities in our wealthy nation are wider than at any point since the Great Depression. The structure of today's economy has stultified wage growth for half of America's workers-with even worse results at the bottom and for people of color-while bestowing billions on the few at the very top.   In this "accessible and inspiring analysis", lifelong anti-poverty advocate Peter Edelman assesses how the United States can have such an outsized number of unemployed and working poor despite important policy gains. He delves into what is happening to the people behind the statistics and takes a particular look at young people of color, for whom the possibility of productive lives is too often lost on the way to adulthood (Angela Glover Blackwell).   For anyone who wants to understand one of the critical issues of twenty-first century America, So Rich, So Poor is "engaging and informative" (William Julius Wilson) and "powerful and eloquent" (Wade Henderson).
