About The Book
Poverty isn't an accident. It's a design.
Why do so many Americans work hard and still can't get ahead? George Gerharz takes on the common misconceptions about poverty, inequality, and social mobility in America.
Drawing on five decades of anti-poverty work and current research, Gerharz examines how the American social order and corporate power create and sustain inequality, stall upward mobility, and keep people trapped in poverty. He then lays out four practical strategies for building a more equal and economically mobile nation.
A clear-eyed look at why the system works the way it does, and what it would take to change it, for readers of books on poverty, economic inequality, social class, and the fight for opportunity in America.
