I had some time over the holiday weekend to catch up on a few recent "Democracy Now!" shows that I missed, and Amy Goodman's interview of Stephen Pimpare especially caught my attention. Pimpare is the author of the book "A People's History of Poverty in America," which looks at the experience of being poor in America. As he explained in the interview, "instead of asking 'How has policy changed over time?', we invert our analysis and ask the question 'How has the experience of being poor and in need changed over time?'" You can read or listen to the interview here.
