pickI loved this one but I also love Desmond‘s work. As a person that is interested in social policy & social justice the book all resonates & makes sense to me. America, generally, as a society that believes in meritocracy & doesn‘t want to examine why people remain in persistent poverty. I understand that things like institutional racism plays a large role in poverty. Some people may find discussions like this offensive or put them on the defense
ncsufoxes Unfortunately people that need to read books like this don‘t. It‘s hard examining difficult parts of our history & even current policies. We‘d be a more profitable & productive society if we would lift people up instead of holding them down & blaming them for bad policies. #bookspin #nonfctionbingo2023 prompt: Running up that Hill- poverty is constantly running on an endless hill of obstacles 1y
