JD Vance's life story and perspective of America's white working class and the issues they face with upward mobility is well explained in this book. I think it's an important world to understand as one part of America's broken system today. 

This definitely isn't the sole root, or only problem America is facing today, but it's part of the bigger picture. Especially after the 2016 election, parts of our country's makeup that are failing us need to be better examined. 

It's well written, relevant and not overwhelmingly long. I'd definitely recommend it!
