But Why?: Ask No Questions, Hear No Stories.
A Collection of Interviews and Book Reviews
You ask too many questions!
I’ve always been inquisitive by nature. I really like to get to the root of an issue. One way to feed my nature is to read books. I don’t want to just read the books, I want to share my thoughts about them too!
My hope is that my interpretations spark constructive debates. If people don’t get tired of me asking questions, I’ll also include interviews here.
Happy reading!
Review of “$2 a Day: Living On Almost Nothing In America” by Kathryn J. Edin & Luke Shaefer
Learning about the fact that the number of families surviving on $2 a day increased 660% between 1995 and 2012 was frightening. However, it did bring some validity to the things that I have seen in my work. I’ve often thought about growing up poor myself and how the poverty that I endured is nothing like the kind of poverty I witness today. There is a sense of hopelessness that can grip you when you literally have no money.
