Mark Rank Uncovers the Truths of Poverty

This is a “Best of MIP” episode from the archives. What’s the likelihood of an American experiencing poverty? Turns out, it’s the majority. That’s what Mark Rank covers in his new book (co-authored by Lawrence Eppard and Heather Bullock) out now, “Poorly Understood: What Americans Get Wrong About Poverty.” There’s a common misconception that poverty is an issue of “them” when it’s really about “us” -- not an individual failing, but a structural one. What does that play out in our society and economy? Mark explains that, and what can be done to make systemic changes, in this eye-opening episode.
