“This essential book is a call to action,” writes William Julius Wilson of Luke Shaefer and Kathryn Edin’s just released $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America.
Wilson, who is a professor of sociology and social policy at Harvard, writes that he hopes the book will arouse, “both the nation’s consciousness and conscience about the plight of a growing number of invisible citizens.”
Wilson’s review, part of The New York Times Sunday Book Review, is now available online.
