Topping barackobama's summer reading list is Matthew Desmond's "Poverty, By America," a landmark book drawing on history, research, and original reporting to show how affluent Americans knowingly and unknowingly keep poor people poor. 

We are very proud to welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning author and sociologist Matthew Desmond to our Ten Evenings lecture series this October. Virtual tickets are now available!

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. He calls on us all to become poverty abolitionists, engaged in a politics of collective belonging to usher in a new age of shared prosperity and, at last, true freedom.
