The Total Cost of Poverty: (In the United States)

About the Book

The Total Cost of Poverty vividly paints on one canvas a picture of the social and dollar cost of poverty and inequality in the United States.

Author Earl Berg examines poverty through a conservative lens. Berg explains how poverty and inequality undermine personal and family responsibility, how poverty creates massive economic inefficiencies, how poverty makes a mockery of the sacred principles of representative democracy, and how poverty creates big government.

Berg's wit brings the important, but dismal, subject of poverty to life.

Anyone with a curiosity or academic interest in the dynamics and cost of poverty and inequality will find value and pleasure in The Total Cost of Poverty.
