That's the title of a new book edited by John Edwards along with Marion Crain and Arne Kelleberg, two UNC professors who presumably have affiliations with Edwards's Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity. Ezra Klein readers will likely be familiar with several of the contributors: Jared Bernstein of the Economic Policy Institute, Elizabeth Warren of TPMCafe's Warren Reports, and The Great Risk Shift author Jacob Hacker. But it also includes a smattering of academics, as well as a few old guard policy wonks like the Urban Institute's Harry Holzer, plus the occasional Republican who earnestly cares about poverty like Jack Kemp. It's likely a good collection of ideas on poverty and surrounding questions of race, education, urban structure, and the like.
