One of the most pernicious and persistent myths in the United States is the association of Black skin with poverty. Though there are forty million more poor white people than Black people, most Americans, both Republicans and Democrats, continue to think of poverty—along with issues like welfare, unemployment, and food stamps—as solely a Black problem. Why is this so? What are the historical causes? And what are the political consequences that result?

In Deutschland leben über 2 Millionen Kinder unterhalb der Armutsgrenze. Viele von ihnen leiden nicht nur an materiellen Entbehrungen, sondern vor allem an mangelnder Zuwendung und Fürsorge. Bernd Siggelkow, Leiter des christlichen Kinder- und Jugendwerkes "Die Arche", hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, dagegen anzugehen. Für viele Kinder ist die Einrichtung ein wahrer Rettungsanker - der Ort, an dem sie wirklich Kinder sein können und sich geborgen fühlen dürfen. Dieses Hörbuch enthält 10 anrührende und gleichzeitig erschütternde Geschichten über Kinder, die die "Arche" aufsuchen.

Story0
Poverty is big business in America. The federal government spends about $900 billion a year on programs that directly or disproportionately impact poor Americans, including antipoverty programs. States and local governments spend tens of billions more. Ironically, these enormous sums fuel the "corporate poverty complex," a vast web of hidden industries and entrenched private-sector interests that profit from the bureaucracies regulating the lives of the poor.

"Darkly humorous" is an understatement when it comes to this tale of addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and redemption. Jared Klickstein, the child of two heroin addicts who eventually became addicted himself, takes listeners on a raw and personal journey from his unsettling and secretive childhood in the suburbs to the slums of Skid Row. Through tales of violence, relapse, and deep inner struggle, Klickstein provides a harrowing account of his personal encounter with near-death.

Poverty is bad for everyone. Being at the sharp end of disadvantage is shameful, reduces brainpower, and hampers positive action. It increases crime, burdens healthcare systems and raises taxpayers' bills. With millions around the world struggling to make ends meet and increased socioeconomic uncertainty making poverty a more probable prospect for many more, tackling poverty has never been more urgent. The Empathy Fix exposes the realities of poverty and reveals why policies don't work. It is a radical rethink of current efforts to tackle poverty, what it means and how we break the cycle.

한국은 전 세계가 놀랄 정도로 가파른 성장을 거듭해오며 선진국 반열에 들어섰다. 그러나 선진국 대한민국의 환호 뒤에는 수많은 사회적·경제적 약자의 희생이 놓여 있다. 문재인 정부의 공직자로 활동한 저자는 '사회권 보장'을 통해 그동안 소외돼온 약자층에 진 '빚'을 갚아야 한다고 주장한다. 그래야만 선진국 반열에 오르기 위해 '가불'했던 '빚'을 갚고 지속 가능한 선진국이 될 수 있다.

They hide in plain sight. They survive on free school breakfasts and lunches, join school sports teams in order to shower, sleep on friends’ couches, in parks, or on the streets. Their official designation is “unaccompanied homeless youth”—they are not "runaways" breaking free from strict parenting; these are kids seeking safety. They have escaped abusive parents, have been abandoned, or have never had a home to begin with.

Il libro che ha rivelato al mondo l'anima profonda dell'America. I nonni di J.D. sono sporchi, poveri e innamorati quando emigrano giovanissimi dalle regioni dei monti Appalachi verso l’Ohio nella speranza di una vita migliore. Ma quel sogno di benessere e riscatto è solo sfiorato, perché prima di diventare uomo il loro nipote lotterà a lungo con la miseria e la violenza domestica: una madre tossicodipendente, patrigni nullafacenti che si susseguono uno dopo l’altro, vicini di casa alcolisti capaci solamente di sopravvivere con i sussidi e lamentarsi del governo.

In our interconnected world, self-interest and social-interest are rapidly becoming indistinguishable. If current negative trajectories remain, including growing climate destabilization, biodiversity loss, and economic inequality, an impending future of ecological collapse and societal destabilization will make "personal success" virtually meaningless. Yet our broken social system incentivizes behavior that will only make our problems worse. If true human rights progress is to be achieved today, it is time we dig deeper—rethinking the very foundation of our social system.
