Have you ever wondered how much that man with the cardboard signal makes? One economics college student have and he decided to find out. Through the summertime of his older year at college or university, while getting a B.A. in Economics and Political Technology, David P. Spears put in 80 time undercover as a panhandler. Systematically saving every purchase at the exit ramp, Spears captured a hardly ever seen picture of how modern metropolitan charity works. This book is the record of his adventures, part economic research, part investigative journalism. Both amounts and the stories behind the amounts provide answers to the questions we've all been thinking about: Who offers more to panhandlers - men or women? What ratio of drivers spin down their house windows to donate? And most important of all, how much can a panhandler earn each hour? Get out your bi-weekly pay stub-by the end of this book you'll know if you make more or less than the man with the cardboard signal.
