The Lowest Rung: Voices of Australian Poverty Book

The Lowest Rung is a fascinating, impressively original and profoundly moving account of the impact of economic rationalism on members of the poorest parts of Australian society. It is beautifully written and compassionate in approach, with the author frequently standing aside to let those most harshly effected by poverty tell their own stories. It is largely based on interviews with around 250 people living and working in areas that are commonly described as among the most disadvantaged in the country.Read More
