Theresa Funiciello truly speaks truth to power. Her writing is engaging intellectually and emotionally, and her arguments cut right to the heart of how America could solve its poverty problem if the powers that be were so inclined. The greed and self-interest on the part of "not-for-profit" corporations receiving government dollars left and right is astonishing and appalling. What Funiciello knows about poverty, she learned on the ground as a welfare mom and activist. Although the policies and stats (from the 80s and early 90s) are dated, I can't stop talking about what this book has taught me.
