Summary
Why is America stricken by poverty despite being the most prosperous democracy in the world? Michael Steele is joined by Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City," and Professor of Sociology and the Director of the Eviction Lab at Princeton University. Matthew discusses his new book, “Poverty, By America," which looks at why America hasn't made more progress in ending poverty, how the pandemic reframed eviction and government response to poverty and how wealthy and middle class Americans perpetuate a system that keeps poor people poor. <br /><br />If you enjoyed this podcast, be sure to leave a review or tell a friend!<br /><br />Check out the book here: <br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Poverty-America-Matthew-Desmond/dp/0593239911">https://www.amazon.com/Poverty-America-Matthew-Desmond/dp/0593239911</a><br /><br />Join the movement to end poverty: <a href="https://endpovertyusa.org/">https://endpovertyusa.org/</a><br /><br />Follow Matthew Desmond @just_shelter<br />Follow Michael @MichaelSteele<br />Follow the Podcast @steele_podcast
