Poverty is expensive, not only for the people experiencing it but for America as a whole. Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “Evicted,” will discuss his new book, “Poverty, by America,” which asks why the richest nation on earth has more poverty than any other nation. Desmond will be in conversation with Frederick Wherry.
