Michael Moss has written a book that is urgent without hysteria, scientific without sterility, and political without partisanship.
Few books manage to shift both personal perspective and institutional conversation. This is exhaustively researched and sharply written.
Reading it feels a bit like having your lens cleaned—you suddenly see what was always there but hidden in plain sight.
Some books open your eyes. Others change the way you think. Poor Economics does both.
Five stars for clarity, courage, and unshakable optimism.
Factfulness surprises by turning data into emotional wisdom. It challenges fear bias, media manipulation, and simplified storytelling.
