“$2.00 a Day, Living on Almost Nothing in America,” by H Luke Schaefer and Kathryn Edin (2015)
Three of the nation’s top scholars – known for tackling key mysteries about poverty in America – turn their attention from the country’s poorest people to its poorest places. Based on a fresh, data-driven approach, they discover that America’s most disadvantaged communities are not the big cities that get the most notice. Instead, nearly all are rural. Little if any attention has been paid to these places or to the people who make their lives there.
Host: Jim and Mary White
