Matthew Desmond
“Being poor,” they write, “reduces a person’s cognitive capacity more than going a full night without sleep.” When we are preoccupied by poverty, “we have less mind to give to the rest of life.” Poverty does not just deprive people of security and comfort; it siphons off their brainpower, too.[19]”
Matthew Desmond, Poverty, by America

Matthew Desmond
“Somehow, the United States has the unique distinction of lacking universal healthcare while still having the most expensive healthcare system in the world.”
Matthew Desmond, Poverty, by America

Matthew Desmond
“When we refuse to recognize what works, we risk swallowing the lie that nothing does. We risk imagining the future only as more of the same. We risk giving in to despair, perhaps the most exculpating of all emotions, and submitting to cynicism, perhaps the most conservative of all belief systems. This can suffocate meaningful action, and it certainly doesn’t inspire others to join the cause.”
Matthew Desmond, Poverty, by America

George Orwell
“Man is the only creature that consumes without producing”
George Orwell, Animal Farm

Matthew Desmond
“Choosing to have a child outside of marriage may be an individual choice, but condemning many of those parents and their children to a life of poverty is a societal one.”
Matthew Desmond, Poverty, by America
