The Poverty Paradox Box
Book | Poverty, by Matthew Desmond
Film | A Home of Their Own
Poverty and homelessness have been compared to the ‘chicken and the egg’ paradox; which came first? Matthew Desmond's book, Poverty, By America discusses how systemic inequalities and exploitation by the affluent contribute to poverty. The documentary, A Home Of Their Own, underscores the urgency of addressing these issues, as local families grapple with the traumatic experience of homelessness, compounded by factors like poverty and domestic violence. Both the book and the film delve into the multifaceted issue of poverty and homelessness, shedding light on the complexities that perpetuate these struggles.
The Poverty Paradox has become increasingly relevant as more and more families are struggling to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. By examining the root causes and sharing personal stories, both the book and the film advocate for collective action and policy change to address homelessness and poverty, resonating with the challenges faced by families in Utah and beyond.
Your book club will embark on a journey to unearth the fundamental origins of homelessness and poverty. Together, you will explore not just the symptoms, but the roots of these societal issues. You will question whether addressing poverty alone can eradicate homelessness, or if resolving homelessness is the key to alleviating poverty. Are these intertwined challenges a puzzle with a solution, or a paradox that defies resolution? Challenge your assumptions and seek transformative insights as you confront this complex conundrum head-on.
