📚 BOOK CLUB Feb 27 - "Poverty, by America" by Matthew Desmond
📚 DA Barcelona Book Club 📚
Saturday, February 27 at 5:45 PM
We will be discussing:
"Poverty, by America" by Matthew Desmond
In this landmark book, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond draws on history, research and original reporting to show how affluent Americans knowingly and unknowingly keep poor people poor. 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.
