SUMMARY:Conor Dougherty - Golden Gates w/Nellie Bowles
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS is excited to welcome Conor Doughertyto read from his new book\, Golden Gates: Fighting for Housing in America on Monday\, February 17th at 7pm. He will be joined in conversation by Nellie Bowles. \nSpacious and affordable homes used to be the hallmark of American prosperity. Today\, however\, punishing rents and the increasingly prohibitive cost of ownership have turned housing into the foremost symbol of inequality and an economy gone wrong. Nowhere is this more visible than in the San Francisco Bay Area\, where fleets of private buses ferry software engineers past the tarp-and-plywood shanties where the homeless make their homes. The adage that California is a glimpse of the nation’s future has become a cautionary tale. \nWith propulsive storytelling and ground-level reporting\, New York Times journalist Conor Dougherty chronicles America’s housing crisis from its West Coast epicenter\, peeling back the decades of history and economic forces that brought us here and taking readers inside the activist uprisings that have risen in tandem with housing costs. \nTo tell this new story of housing\, Dougherty follows a struggling math teacher who builds a political movement dedicated to ending single-family-house neighborhoods. A teenaged girl who leads her apartment complex against their rent-raising landlord. A nun who tries to outmaneuver private equity investors by amassing a multimillion-dollar portfolio of affordable homes. A suburban bureaucrat who roguishly embraces density in response to the threat of climate change. A developer who manufactures homeless housing on an assembly line. \nSweeping in scope and intimate in detail\, Golden Gates captures a vast political realignment during a moment of rapid technological and social change. \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nConor Dougherty is an economics reporter at The New York Times. He previously spent a decade in New York covering housing and the economy for The Wall Street Journal. He grew up in the Bay Area and lives with his family in Oakland. \nNellie Bowles is a reporter for the New York Times.

SUMMARY:Berkeley Arts & Letters: Thom Hartmann / The Hidden History of the War on Voting
DESCRIPTION:In today’s America\, only a slim majority of eligible voters register to vote and a large percentage of registered voters don’t bother to show up for elections. Is this their responsibility alone\, or is it the insidious result of policies made by our elected officials? Thom Hartmann unveils the hidden war on voting in America\, offering answers as to why the wealthy elite want to block people from voting\, where the idea that only smart people should vote originates\, and why convicts aren’t allowed to vote. Is voter fraud really that common\, or is it just a ploy to make it harder for people to vote? And most importantly\, how can we make voting easily accessible to every citizen? With a perspective that stretches all the way to the founding of our republic\, Hartmann shows how the war on universal suffrage has been waged for centuries—and is far from over. \n​——————- \nThom Hartmann is a progressive national and internationally syndicated talk show host. Talkers magazine named him America’s most important progressive host and has named his show one of the top ten talk radio shows in the country every year for over a decade. A four-time recipient of the Project Censored Award\, Hartmann is also a New York Times bestselling author of twenty-four books\, translated into multiple languages. \n​\nPlease note: \nDoors at 6pm. Program at 7pm. Duration of event is subject to author’s preference. \nSigning details TBA soon. \nTickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. All ticket sales are final. \nThis event is all ages. Accessibility is important to us! If you have special needs of any kind\, please write events AT booksmith DOT com and we will do our best to accommodate you.
