Bootstraps Need Boots: One Tory's Lonely Fight to End Poverty in Canada by Hugh Segal
4.0
While this book may not have been a perfect piece of literature; Hugh is a 5 star guy and G.A.I. is a 5 star idea. The biggest lie that those of us who could be labelled as "Haves" tell ourselves is that we are somewhow smarter, harder working, more moral etc. than the "Have Nots"; in reality the "Haves" usually have the right parents, the right neighbourhood, the right perceived race-culture-ethnicity etc. and a lot of good luck. We only need to look at the current premier of Ontario, prime minister of Canada and president of the United States.
