The Paradox Hidden in Plain Sight
What if the very system designed to lift people out of poverty is actually keeping them there? Across America, millions of people face this contradiction daily-trapped between the security of government assistance and the dignity of work. Phil Harvey and Lisa Conyers spent years traveling the country, sitting down with over 100 welfare recipients to understand their lived experiences. What they discovered challenges everything we think we know about helping the poor. This isn't another policy wonk's treatise filled with charts and partisan finger-pointing. Instead, it's a deeply human exploration that reveals a troubling truth: our welfare system, built with the best intentions, has created invisible walls that prevent the very people it aims to help from achieving independence and fulfillment.
