In this age of shortened office visits, doctors take care of their
patients' immediate needs and often elide their own personal
histories. But as reflected in Broke, Michael Stein takes the time
to listen to the experiences of his patients whose financial
challenges complicate every decision in life they make. Stein asks
his patients to tell him about their financial conditions not only
to find out how to better treat them but also to bear witness to
their very survival and the power of human resilience. Stein's
intimate vignettes capture these encounters, allowing his patients
to offer profound, moving, and unguarded reflections about their
struggles, sometimes in a single sentence. Broke is a quietly
passionate critique of a country that has grown callous to the
plight of the poor, the tens of millions of people in the United
States who live below the poverty line and who have no obvious path
to security. Full of heartbreaking and surprising details and
framed by a wry, knowing, and empathic humor, there is no other
book that illuminates the experience of people facing economic
hardship in this way.
