Examinando retórica, normas políticas, literatura popular y las teorías científicas a lo largo de 400 años, Nacny Isenberg rechaza las suposiciones sobre la sociedad libre de clases de Estados Unidos, donde la libertad y el trabajo duro te garantizan una verdadera movilidad social. Los blancos pobres miserables y sin tierra han existido desde la época del primer asentamiento colonial británico hasta los actuales "hillbillies".

The Chinese Economic miracle is happening despite, not because of, China's 900 million peasants. They are missing from the portraits of booming Shanghai, or Beijing. Many of China's underclass live under a feudalistic system unchanged since the 15th century. Wu Chuntao and Chen Guidi undertook a three-year survey of what had happened to the peasants in one of the poorest provinces, Anhui, asking the question: have the peasants been betrayed by the revolution undertaken in their name by Mao and his successors?

This book explores the hidden world of pharmaceutical testing on healthy volunteers. Drawing on two years of fieldwork in clinics across the country and 268 interviews with participants and staff, it illustrates how decisions to take part in such studies are often influenced by poverty and lack of employment opportunities. It shows that healthy participants are typically recruited from African American and Latino/a communities, and that they are often serial participants, who obtain a significant portion of their income from these trials.

The cost of living crisis is not just about prices. It’s about distance. Distance between work and security. Distance between decisions and consequences. Distance between the people struggling to stay afloat and the systems shaping their lives. This book is not an attack on capitalism. It does not argue that wealth is immoral, that success requires apology, or that higher taxes alone will fix what feels broken. Markets work. Wealth creation matters. Incentives shape behavior.

This audiobook challenges the fatalism surrounding the housing crisis and lays out a bold, humane alternative: a world where home is treated not as a privilege, but as a universal right. Drawing from lived experience, economic analysis, and urban design, it dismantles the myths of deservingness, productivity, and property, exposing how systems preserve exclusion by intent.

The housing crisis plaguing major urban centres has sent countless people into the streets. In spring 2022, some of them found their way to the yard beside the Anglican church in Toronto’s Kensington Market, where Maggie Helwig is the priest. They pitched tents, formed an encampment, and settled in. Known as an outspoken social justice activist, Helwig has spent the last three years getting to know the residents and fighting tooth and nail to allow them to stay, battling various authorities that want to clear the yard and keep the results of the housing crisis out of sight and out of mind.

To end homelessness, we don’t have to choose between faith and facts. For over a century, the primary Christian ministry model for the unhoused in North America has been gospel rescue missions that offer shelter and food but prioritize evangelism over proven solutions. This approach often perpetuates homelessness rather than ending it.
