Going Deep with Matthew Desmond on Fairness

When my daughter was in high school, she read a Pulitzer prize winning book called Evicted and was blown away by how easy it is to become homeless in her country. Years later, I was at one of those thinking weekend festival things (Chautauqua) and listened to the Evicted author speak. Matthew Desmond gave the best talk I had ever heard in my life, and I have heard a lot. As soon as I had the chance, as his new book Poverty by America hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, I talked with him at my apartment in NYC about how America could be the place we all so want it to be. He is a rare mix of gentle and determined. Please listen, please share, for the good of all of us. Feedback always welcome. Write us anytime. [email protected]
