Middletown (also known as the Steel City), Ohio, located within the Rust Belt, is the setting for this memoir by James David Vance. He came from a Scottish-Irish working-class community plagued by poverty and low social mobility. Most members of the community had been stuck at the bottom of the social ladder for generations, but Vance graduated from Yale Law School and rose to the top. Aside from recounting his journey to success, this book also examines the root causes of the social issues faced by white working-class Americans.To read more please visit: https://luminarypodcasts.com/listen/bookey-app/bookey-app-30-mins-book-summaries-knowledge-notes-and-more/hillbilly-elegy-full-chapter-book-summary/37cc5a0d-aab2-4c04-b63e-fe2b9d4d77ca
