KQED Radio’s Michael Krasny and Richard Blum on Fighting Poverty

Why do all undergraduates minoring in poverty studies at the University of California, Berkeley take a course in business management? What management lessons does the private-equity world offer non-profit organizations? How can prospering immigrants in the U.S. best fight poverty in their homelands?

Renowned interviewer Michael Krasny and Richard explored answers to those questions and much more in conversation on KQED Radio’s “Forum,” a Bay Area news and public affairs program. Introducing the hour-long segment, Krasny said An Accident of Geography has “all the earmarks of being an important document in… understanding poverty and actually doing something about it.”
