Description

In Evicted, Princeton sociologist and MacArthur "Genius" Matthew Desmond follows eight families in Milwaukee as they struggle to keep a roof over their heads. Evicted transforms our understanding of poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving one of 21st-century America's most devastating problems. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible.

Recommendable

The one thing that stands out here is that America has a very flimsy and poorly constructed safety net - if you can call it that. There were so many mis-steps for everyone along the way here that were so easily avoided with some common sense and basic rules.
