Here is a searing account - probably the best yet published - of life in the underclass and why it persists as it does. 

Theodore Dalrymple, a British psychiatrist who treats the poor in a slum hospital and a prison in England, has seemingly seen it all. Yet in listening to and observing his patients, he is continually astonished by the latest twist of depravity that exceeds even his own considerable experience. Dalrymple's key insight in Life at the Bottom is that long-term poverty is caused not by economics, but by a dysfunctional set of values, one that is continually reinforced by an elite culture searching for victims. This culture persuades those at the bottom that they have no responsibility for their actions and are not the molders of their own lives. 

Drawn from the pages of the cutting-edge political and cultural quarterly City Journal, Dalrymple's book draws upon scores of eye-opening, true-life vignettes that are by turns hilariously funny, chillingly horrifying, and all too revealing - sometimes all at once. And Dalrymple writes in prose that transcends journalism and achieves the quality of literature.

Brilliant book on the true ills of Western Society. This book pairs well with "Intellectuals and Society " by Thomas Sowell.

Masterfully Written and Narrated

I very much enjoyed the weaving together of stories from his clinical practice, reference to literary works, and his ability to reveal truths by means of absurdity.

Truth delightfully told

Especially because of the times the world is presently in, people need to know the negative impacts socialist liberal systems are having on the lower class. They need to know the ineffectiveness of these policies. This is a compilation of factual firdt hand accounts of poverty.

Read this book!
