UNSEEN BURDEN: The True Cost of Poverty on Families, Economies and The Planet (Books That Fight Back Series)
Poverty isn't merely a number in a development report. It's a pervasive force that reverberates through economies, fractures families, and shapes policy decisions across the world. Sree Krishna Seelam peels back the layers to reveal what we've collectively overlooked: the hidden price tag attached to deprivation, and how it bleeds into your own circumstances, your nation's prosperity, and our shared future. Why do so many young people remain shut out from schooling? What threads connect poverty to surging crime rates, political upheaval, and ecological collapse? Who benefits when populations stay trapped in cycles of want and desperation? And perhaps most urgently, what realistic steps could genuinely alter this trajectory? Drawing on rigorous reporting, visceral personal accounts, and voices of specialists, Seelam constructs a compelling argument: this crisis belongs to all of us, not merely those living through it. The ramifications extend further than charity initiatives or feel-good gestures. They touch your wallet, your neighbourhood, your children's prospects. This book speaks directly to those wrestling with questions of fairness and systemic change, those grappling with global suffering, and those ready to move beyond passive concern towards meaningful action. It's a call you shouldn't dismiss lightly. The price of inaction? Steeper than most of us realise.
