Okay - so I LOVE reading (literally anything) and finally got a chance to read "Hillbilly Elegy" this week. Has anyone else here read it?
If so... a couple questions for discussion:
Do you think the parts of the country discussed in the book (mining and steel country) will ever recover financially?
How do you break that chain of financial struggle? Generations of families are used to just scraping by - where does it stop? The author of the book did okay but he recognized that most folks in his graduating class didn't fare so well.
Hoping someone read this and has some thoughts on the financial aspects of the book. Looking forward to you guys' thoughts!
