Desmonds’s 2016 book Evicted won the Pulitzer Prize for its incisive examination of poverty and housing policy in America. He joins Bharara to discuss his new book, Poverty, by America, and the many ways poverty is entrenched in one of the world’s wealthiest nations.

Desmond served as Co-Principal Investigator on a 2020 COVID-19 mitigation project led by Karen Chapple, now UC Berkeley professor emerita, examining evictions and eviction policy during the pandemic.
