Just finished reading Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive by stephanie land. It’s about a biographic view of the authors experience living below the poverty line, and the difficulty of getting out of poverty despite all the work she does.
Some parts could be repetitive and boring, and there are certainly parts where I read it and felt there were poor decisions made that led to where she’s at, and it is most definitely written from her own point of view and I wonder what the people on the other side thinks, but it does clearly highlight the issue of social support in the US, and how poor people are being unfairly discriminated against.
Not sure if this counts as political talks but if so please feel free to delete.
I also read two books by Timothy Snyder, on freedom and on tyranny. Probably way more political so not going to delve too much in them.
