How Corporations Get Rich off America’s Poor

About this episode

The federal government spends around $900 billion a year on programs that are supposed to help poor Americans. Why does so much of that money end up in the pockets of private-sector interests that profit from the bureaucracies regulating the lives of the poor? Journalist Anne Kim reports on the “corporate poverty complex” in her new book "Poverty for Profit." 📩 Check out our daily Substack and our weekly LinkedIn newsletter
