Matthew Desmond: 本书的核心论点是贫困并非偶然事件,而是系统性社会问题的综合体现,是物质匮乏、慢性疼痛、监禁、抑郁、成瘾等多种社会问题的交织。作者通过大量案例分析,揭示了美国贫困的深层原因,包括住房不安全、医疗保健差距、种族歧视、福利制度缺陷等。作者呼吁改变社会对贫困的刻板印象,并提出具体的政策建议,例如加强劳工标准执法、推动行业集体谈判、重新平衡福利制度等,以实现贫困的最终消除。 Sam Sanders, Saeed Jones, Zach Stafford: 三位主持人对本书进行了深入的解读和讨论,肯定了本书的学术价值和社会意义。他们赞扬了作者以尊严的态度对待贫困经历者,并强调了本书促使人们反思自身在贫困创造中的作用。他们还就书中提出的问题,例如福利资源的回避、贫困群体对福利制度的抵触情绪、以及美国社会对贫困群体的歧视等,进行了深入的探讨。
