Author Talk: Matthew Desmond

Season 2023 Episode 8

PBS Books hosts Matthew Desmond, a professor of sociology at Princeton University to discuss his latest release “Poverty, by America.” Elegantly written and fiercely argued, this compassionate book gives us new ways of thinking about a morally urgent problem. It also helps us imagine solutions. Desmond builds a startlingly original and ambitious case for ending poverty.
