Poverty, by America — Why Wealth Doesn’t Eliminate Poverty
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
This episode explores Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond as a systems-level analysis of how housing markets, labor incentives, and economic policy shape persistent poverty in the United States.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than individual behavior, the episode shows how structural advantages and disadvantages are distributed across society — and why poverty can persist even in the presence of immense national wealth.
