• The Book: Poverty by America by Matthew Desmond  (2023)

  According to The New Yorker magazine, Desmond "identifies specific practices and policies that consign tens of millions to destitution... and also benefits some of us." Called "elegantly written and fiercely argued" by BookBrowse.com, this 189-page book provides new ways of thinking and action when considering the burden of poverty in America.
