Through immersive reporting in Milwaukee, Matthew Desmond shows how eviction is not merely a symptom of poverty but one of the forces that keeps people trapped inside it. Following families, landlords, and the daily churn of housing court, he traces the way unstable shelter reshapes work, school, health, money, and dignity. Clear-eyed and deeply humane, this Pulitzer Prize-winning work turns policy into lived experience and remains one of the defining books on housing and inequality in America.
