About This Novel

"Sweeping Out: Poverty and Profits in American Cities" focuses on the increasingly severe housing problem in the United States - housing prices continue to rise, the cost of living continues to rise, but incomes remain stagnant or even decrease instead of increasing - Matthew Desmond is determined to go deep into poor communities to explore the core of the problem. Readers will face the displacement caused by poverty and witness the graceful figure of those in need who refuse to submit. This is an enlightening book about poverty and eviction, and a call to action and change.
