Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

byMatthew Desmond

In Evicted, Matthew Desmond presents a social inquiry centered on poverty and Profit in the American City. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the wider field of social science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Evicted leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
