Özet

What does it mean to be poor in the UK and America? For decades the primary narrative about poverty in both countries is that it has been caused by personal flaws or "bad life decisions" rather than policy choices or economic inequality. This misleading account has become deeply embedded in the public consciousness with serious ramifications for how financially vulnerable people are seen, spoken about, and treated.

Drawing on a two-year multi-platform initiative, this audiobook, by award-winning journalist and author Mary O'Hara, asks how we can overturn this portrayal once and for all. Crucially, she turns to the real experts to try to find answers - the people who live it.

It’s always good to have the author narrate their own book!
Mary O’Hara cleverly weaves her own story through this very well researched journey into the topic of poverty narratives and their effect on people in poverty and society in general. The research takes the form of statistics and stories, which blended together provide a profound insight into how toxic poverty really is.

A must read for anyone seeking to understand poverty
