Join SEI for The Financial Diaries: How American Families Cope in a World of Uncertainty, an event cosponsored by the Institute of Politics for SEI Visiting Fellow Jonathan Morduch
Event Details
Join SEI on Monday, April 24 for a discussion with Jonathan Morduch and Rachel Schneider, authors of The Financial Diaries: How American Families Cope in a World of Uncertainty. The Financial Diaries follow the lives of 235 low- and middle-income families as they navigate through a year. Through the Diaries, Morduch and Schneider challenge popular assumptions about how Americans earn, spend, borrow, and save--and they identify the true causes of distress and inequality for many working Americans. Combining hard facts with personal stories, The Financial Diaries presents an unparalleled inside look at the economic stresses of today's families and offers powerful, fresh ideas for solving them.
