24. Invisible Americans: The Tragic Cost of Child Poverty by Jeff Madrick
Madrick looks at child poverty in the United States and the tragic effects our unwillingness to ensure that children don’t live in poverty has on them, their future, and our country. I didn’t really learn much reading this book as it referenced a lot of material I’m already familiar with. It is a nice little primer for those who aren’t familiar with the topic though. I give it a 6 out of 10.
