This Is What Inequality Looks Like

Questioning common sense to confront poverty and inequality.

Recommendation: - This book is a thought-provoking exploration of poverty and inequality, challenging readers to question their preconceived notions and shift their perspective. It offers a unique opportunity to see ourselves as part of the solution and compels us to confront uncomfortable truths about our society. Once you read it, you'll never see poverty and inequality the same way again.

Description

This book—an ethnography of inequality—addresses these questions. Formed by a series of essays, they are written to be read individually, but have been arranged to be read as a totality and in sequence. Each aims to accomplish two things: first, to introduce a key aspect of the experience of being low-income in contemporary Singapore. Second, to illustrate how people’s experiences are linked to structural conditions of inequality.
