Synopsis
America’s Poverty Trap
America’s Poverty Trap argues that modern poverty in the United States is not the result of laziness, poor morals, or individual failure—but the predictable outcome of systems that have shifted risk downward and turned basic survival into a profit center.
The book reframes the American Dream not as wealth, but as stability: the ability to work, pay basic bills, absorb small shocks, and move forward over time. Markwardt contends that this promise has quietly collapsed—not because people stopped working, but because the cost of survival now exceeds what work reliably provides.
