Eddie Murphy had it right!
I’ve never been poor and hope to never be, but like most non-poor people (I think; I hope) I’m interested in how poverty works. Certainly, it is one of the most interesting questions in any monied society.
Along comes an interesting story from the Boston Globe that offers one economist’s suggestion on how poverty works … it’s not why you think.
Read and discuss… and am I the only one, or does this whole article remind you of “Trading Places,” that movie from the 80s with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd? Wasn’t this basically the very plot?

Try it!
