Review of 'Down and out in Paris and London' on 'Storygraph'

Impressive account of living conditions of the poorest people in London and Paris a century ago. Some things have changed for the better, but it's shocking to see that some of the same ideas about poverty still exist today. Ideas that resul in appaling ideas like a tramp jacket, designed by a Dutch design agency a while ago. They should read this book.
