Poorly Understood

Book • 2021
Poorly Understood systematically addresses and confronts myths surrounding poverty in the United States.

The authors, Mark Robert Rank, Lawrence M. Eppard, and Heather E. Bullock, use research to demonstrate that poverty affects a broader segment of Americans than commonly believed, often due to structural issues rather than individual failures.

The book provides a blueprint for alleviating poverty by challenging these myths and offering innovative solutions.
