How do we become poverty abolitionists and usher in a new age of shared prosperity? Come hear Desmond speak about new ways of thinking about a morally urgent problem. Through this work, he’s uncovered a story about how our society works to keep poor people poor, while rewarding its richhest citizens. Over the last few years, Desmond’s spent time with dozens of people who live in poverty, while doing a deep-dive into abundant data and research. Poverty, by America is one of the most anticipated books of 2023: It’s the latest from best-seller Matthew Desmond, who won the Pulitzer in 2017 for Evicted: Poverty & Profit in the American City. The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author of Evicted reimagines the debate on poverty, making a new and bracing argument about why it persists in America: because the rest of us benefit from it.
