Mark Rank on Poverty and Poorly Understood

<p>Sociologist and author Mark Rank talks about his book, <i>Poorly Understood</i>, with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Rank looks at a wide variety of aspects of poverty. He argues that many widely-held views on poverty are inaccurate, and in particular he argues that most Americans will be poor at some point in their lives. This is a wide-ranging and lively conversation on the nature of poverty and the challenge of ending or reducing it.</p>
