Out Of Reach
This week at Cafe, Scott Allard joins us for a discussion of his book Out of Reach: Place, Poverty, and the New American Welfare State. Allard surveyed upwards of 2,000 government and nonprofit agencies to put together this comprehensive book on how social services help low-income populations in urban areas. He is the Associate Professor in the University of Chicago's School of Social Service Administration.
Joining the discussion are Elizabeth Kneebone, Senior Research Analyst of the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution; Arthur Brooks, President of the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research; Steven R. Smith, Professor of Public Affairs at the University of Washington; and Dean Baker, Cafe regular and Co-Director of the Center For Economic and Policy Research.
