The poverty industry is made possible when social service funds don't end up where they are suppose to and instead, the government and private industry profits off of the poor and disabled. This hour, we'll discuss the rise of the poverty industry and how it plays out across the U.S. and in Ohio.
Guests:
- Daniel Hatcher, Author, The Poverty Industry: the Exploitation of America’s Most Vulnerable Citizens
- Jack Frech, Anti-Poverty Advocate and Retired Director, Athens County Job and Family Services Department
