Under the Affluence

This book, written by an esteemed public intellectual, explores the issue of economic inequality and the demonization of the poor in America. Drawing on social scientific research and personal experience, the author argues that the so-called "culture of poverty" is a myth and instead points to a culture of predatory affluence as the root of our economic and social crises. With passion and eloquence, he calls for greater compassion, fairness, and economic justice in our society. This book offers a necessary and urgent call to action for all who care about the well-being of our most vulnerable citizens.
