Hvorfor er middelklassen så bange for underklassen, at der opstilles snubletråde og barrierer for social mobilitet? Det og meget mere undersøger Preben Brandt sammen med Nalle Kirkvåg i TALK 3. Brandt har, som psykiatrisk socialoverlæge i Københavns Kommune, haft et langt og begivenhedsrigt liv med hjemløse, sutter, alkoholikere og andet godtfolk. Men har også selv taget en lang og utrolig rejse fra nærmest ufatteligfattigdom og til førnævnte middelklasse. Men hvor trangen til at træde på dem allernederst i hierarkiet, kommer fra, undrer Preben og Nalle sig over i dagens Talk.

Riding the rails, Ted Conover tasted the life of a tramp with companions like Pistol Pete, BB, and Sheba Sheila Sheils. From them he learned survival skills - how to "read" a freight train, scavenge for food and clothing, avoid the railroad "bulls." He was initiated into the customs of their unique, shadowy society - men and women bound together by a mutual bond of failure, camaraderie, and distrust.

Story0
Jonathan Kozol's books have become touchstones of the American conscience. Unlike his previous books, however, Ordinary Resurrections is almost entirely narrative and takes us into the fascinating details of daily life as he has lived it with young children who befriended him over the course of several years. Like Amazing Grace, this book describes the children of New York's South Bronx, but it is a markedly different book in mood and vantage point.

Story0
While the world has made encouraging strides in the fight against global poverty, there is a hidden crisis silently undermining our best efforts to help the poor. It is a plague of everyday violence. Beneath the surface of the world’s poorest communities, common violence—like rape, forced labor, illegal detention, land theft, police abuse and other brutality—has become routine and relentless. And like a horde of locusts devouring everything in their path, the unchecked plague of violence ruins lives, blocks the road out of poverty, and undercuts development.

As former staffer to Robert F. Kennedy and current Georgetown law professor Peter Edelman explains in Not a Crime to Be Poor, Ferguson is everywhere in America today. Through money bail systems, fees and fines, strictly enforced laws and regulations against behavior including trespassing and public urination that largely affect the homeless, and the substitution of prisons and jails for the mental hospitals that have traditionally served the impoverished, in one of the richest countries on Earth we have effectively made it a crime to be poor.

Hailed as "the guide to capitalism", the New York Times best seller Wealth and Poverty is one of the most influential economics books of all time and has sold more than one million copies since its first release. In this modern classic, Gilder affirms the moral superiority of free-market capitalism and explains why supply-side economics is more effective at decreasing poverty than government-regulated markets. Now, in a completely updated edition of Wealth and Poverty, Gilder compares America’s current economic challenges with its past economic problems.

In keinem anderen Land Lateinamerikas haben so wenige Frauen Zugang zu medizinischen Einrichtungen wie in Guatemala. Die staatliche Gesundheitsversorgung reicht längst nicht aus. Private Krankenhäuser sind meist zu teuer. Schwangerschaften sind deshalb mit extremen Risiken verbunden. Vielen Schwangeren bleibt nichts anderes übrig, als sich auf das Wissen der Heiler der Mayamedizin und der Comadronas, der traditionellen Geburtshelferinnen, zu verlassen.

Warum unsere Gesellschaft Arbeitslose verachtet und sie dennoch braucht. Faul. Ungebildet. Desinteressiert. Selber schuld. Als Kind von zwei Langzeitarbeitslosen weiß Anna Mayr, wie falsch solche Vorurteile sind. Früher schämte sie sich, dass ihre Eltern keine Jobs haben. Heute weiß sie, dass unsere Gesellschaft Menschen wie sie braucht: als drohendes Bild des Elends. In ihrem kämpferischen, thesenstarken Buch zeigt Mayr, warum wir die Geschichte der Arbeit neu denken müssen und wie eine Welt aussehen könnte, in der wir die Elenden nicht mehr brauchen, um unseren Leben Sinn zu geben.

A holiday classic by Charles Dickens. Originally published in 1843, Dickens worried about the disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished, and it was his attempt to bring this disparity into the light of day, to appeal to the die-hard capitalists to take care of the downtrodden masses. Since this inequity continues, this story is still popular, and will probably continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

Once America's "arsenal of democracy," Detroit is now the symbol of the American urban crisis. In this reappraisal of America's racial and economic inequalities, Thomas Sugrue asks why Detroit and other industrial cities have become the sites of persistent racialized poverty. He challenges the conventional wisdom that urban decline is the product of the social programs and racial fissures of the 1960s.

From St. Louis to New Orleans, from Baltimore to Oklahoma City, there are poor and minority neighborhoods so beset by pollution that just living in them can be hazardous to your health. Due to entrenched segregation, zoning ordinances that privilege wealthier communities, or because businesses have found the "paths of least resistance", there are many hazardous waste and toxic facilities in these communities, leading residents to experience health and wellness problems on top of the race and class discrimination most already experience.

What would charity look like if we, instead, measured it by its ability to alleviate poverty and needs? That is the question at the heart of Charity Detox. Drawing on his many decades of experience, Lupton outlines how to structure programs that actually improve the quality of life of the poor and disenfranchised. He introduces many strategies that are revolutionizing what we do with our charity dollars, and offers numerous examples of organizations that have successfully adopted these groundbreaking new models.
