Evicted by Matthew Desmond review – what if the problem of poverty is that it’s profitable to other people?

<https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/apr/07/evicted-poverty-and-profit-in-the-american-city-matthew-desmond-review>

"What if the dominant discourse on poverty is just wrong? What if the
problem isn’t that poor people have bad morals – that they’re lazy and
impulsive and irresponsible and have no family values – or that they
lack the skills and smarts to fit in with our shiny 21st-century
economy? What if the problem is that poverty is profitable?"
