Story
David’s audiobook is one of despair and hope; one that paints a picture of our society that is both dark and broken up by fleeting rays of light. From his plight on the streets in one of England’s richest regions, to the interactions of people he observes and encounters every day, to the impacts of Covid-19 and the changing seasons--this is poetry and prose at its most powerful. It is an audiobook that reveals the double-talk of homeless service provision--a society that consigns people as worthless without knowing their backgrounds.

Story
Few topics have as many myths, stereotypes, and misperceptions surrounding them as that of poverty in America. The poor have been badly misunderstood since the beginnings of the country, with the rhetoric only ratcheting up in recent times. Our current era of fake news, alternative facts, and media partisanship has led to a breeding ground for all types of myths and misinformation to gain traction and legitimacy. Poorly Understood is the first book to systematically address and confront many of the most widespread myths pertaining to poverty.

Story
Zum 80. Geburtstag des Autors endlich wieder erhältlich: "Man muss sich verkleiden, um die Gesellschaft zu demaskieren..." - Günter Wallraff. Niemand hat mehr Missstände aufgedeckt als er. Junge Journalisten nehmen sich an ihm ein Vorbild, wenn sie in Rollen schlüpfen, um die dunklen Seiten der gesellschaftlichen Realität aufzudecken - eine Vorgehensweise, die im Schwedischen "wallraffa" genannt wird. Wieder war Günter Wallraff undercover unterwegs. Als "Michael G." recherchierte er den Alltag in deutschen Callcentern - das Echo auf die in der ZEIT veröffentlichte Reportage war gewaltig.

Story
Growing up in a prosperous neighborhood, B. Morrison was taught that poverty was a product of laziness and public assistance programs only rewarded irresponsibility. However, when her marriage soured, she abruptly found herself an impoverished single mother. Disowned by her parents and facing destitution for herself and her two small sons, she was forced to accept the handout so disdained by her parents and their world: welfare. This dramatic memoir tells how one woman finds and grasps the lifeline that ultimately enables her to become independent.

Story
En este libro pionero, Karlan y Appel conjugan la economía del comportamiento con la investigación de campo. Llevan a sus lectores consigo por pueblos de todo el mundo–desde Ghana hasta Kenia pasando por Sudáfrica, la India y Filipinas, Perú y México–en los que la teoría económica choca con la realidad. Muestran que ciertos cambios en la banca, los seguros, la asistencia sanitaria, la educación junto con otras iniciativas que tienen en cuenta la irracionalidad humana pueden mejorar radicalmente el bienestar de la gente pobre en todo el mundo.

Story
De meeste experts zijn het erover eens dat de Great Divergence ergens in de 18de en 19de eeuw ontstond, toen voor het eerst in de geschiedenis van de wereld in Groot-Brittannië en in een aantal andere Europese landen moderne economische groei optrad. Tot op dat moment was het verschil tussen arme en rijke samenlevingen altijd relatief gering geweest, aangezien wereldwijd armoede normaal was. Met de Great Divergence werd het westen veel rijker dan de rest van de wereld, met uitzondering van Japan.

Story
Growing up poor, Deborah Dundas knew what it meant to want, to be hungry, and to long for social and economic dignity; she understood the crushing weight of having nothing much expected of you. But even after overcoming many of the usual barriers faced by lower- and working-class people, she still felt anxious about her place, and even in relatively safe spaces reluctant to broach the subject of class. While new social movements have generated open conversation about gender and racism, discussions of class rarely include the voices of those most deeply affected: the working class and poor.

Despite the terrible nights, I still woke up, got dressed, and went to my only refuge, my high school. This was my life, often alone, cold, sad, and hungry. My youth was different than most, but this was my reality.
