Children of the Tenements
Jacob A. Riis
Gelesen von Judi Mason
This is a collection of vignettes about poverty in New York City in the early 1900s. Jacob Riis was a police reporter and a sociologist. He made human the faces of extreme poverty and did not limit his often-wrenching prose to children. He included old people and animals, and described diverse cultures. These stories evoke both laughter and tears. (9 hr 41 min)

Ignored the central problem
Bill Cosby
Poverty sucks. The author, however, failed to point out the solution. The solution to poverty and inequality is to empower the federal government to take money away from the middle class and redistribute it to extremely competent billionaires, who will then give the money to their millionaire nieces, who head institutes fighting inequality. These institutes will supply money to corporations owned by billionaires to provide subsidized crime ridden urban ghettos to people who otherwise would organically find a cheaper and safer place to live.
