Understanding choices made by poor people

Poor people are often blamed for causing their own poverty by making bad choices.  Well-read Red Frann Michel draws on writings by poor and formerly poor people to show that what look like poor decisions to those who are not poor often look very different to those who are.  And she reminds us that poverty is not caused by poor people, it is caused by capitalist exploitation of the working class.  To read her text with links to her sources, click here.
