✅ Summary -

Life at the Bottom argues that the persistence of the modern underclass is driven by a destructive set of cultural values and psychological beliefs rather than economic poverty. Drawing from his experience as a British inner-city hospital and prison psychiatrist, Theodore Dalrymple illustrates how a widespread rejection of personal responsibility traps individuals in cycles of welfare dependency, addiction, and violence. Ultimately, the book delivers a stark critique of the intellectual elites and social policies that he believes subsidize and entrench these self-destructive behaviors.
