Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City - Matthew Desmond (2016)
NY Review of Books
Read this book if:
You've never read an ethnography of inner-city poverty.
You get confused when people talk about housing as a human right.
It's been a while since you haven't gotten some of that sweet mortgage interest deduction.
There are better reviews out there than what I can write, but this book had a profound enough impact on me when I read it a year ago that I felt it going unmentioned ITT couldn't stand.
