Matthew Desmond is a professor of sociology at Princeton University, where he specializes in the study of poverty. His 2016 book Evicted won the Pulitzer Prize for its incisive examination of poverty and housing policy in America. He joins Preet to discuss his new book, Poverty, by America, and the many ways poverty is entrenched in one of the world’s wealthiest nations.
Plus, new reports say Trump shared additional classified information with foreigners, and does the right to a speedy trial extend to prosecutors?
Don’t miss the Insider bonus, where Preet and Desmond discuss the idea of instituting a national “poverty czar.” To listen, become a member of CAFE Insider for $1 for the first month. Head to cafe.com/insider.
