The United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages?
In this landmark book, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond draws on history, research, and original reporting to show how affluent Americans knowingly and unknowingly keep poor people poor.

In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma, thanks to the oil that was discovered beneath
their land. Then, one by one, the Osage began to die under mysterious circumstances, and anyone who tried to investigate met the same end.
The newly created Bureau of Investigation, which became the FBI, took up the case, one of the organization's first major homicide investigations. Working with the Osage, they began to expose one of the most chilling conspiracies in American history.
