An examination of how scarcity--and our flawed responses to it--shapes our lives, our society, and our culture.

4 editions

An eye opening and thought provoking read

I read it done time ago but I'm still thinking about this book.

It describes psychological and economic mechanisms which keep people locked in a poverty cycle. I wasn't aware of that and am guessing a lot of things differently

Highly recommended red
