Prof. Lily Geismer was interviewed by The Nation about her new book, Left Behind: The Democrats’ Failed Attempt to Solve Inequality. In regard to the Clinton administration’s small, market-based reforms as solutions to poverty and inequality, Geismer said: “In the end, these micro-solutions both reinforce the power of the market—because they’re based on the techniques of consulting and especially of the emerging high-tech sector—and at the same time they don’t require much expenditure of political or economic capital. They don’t require rich and powerful people to give very much over.”
