PICK OF THE WEEK
This week's featured book: The Sum of US by Heather McGhee
Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis of 2008 to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a root problem: racism in our politics and policymaking. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But how did this happen? And is there a way out?
(We would love to hear your recommendations! Let us know what you have watched/read/listened to recently so we can feature them in the next newsletter!)
HAPPENING OUTSIDE THE BUBBLE
Christmas Markets are Here!
New York has several lovely christmas markets complete with pop up stalls and vendors selling food and lots of knick knacks not fit for the student budget. Nonetheless, they are always good fun! Options include the Winter Village at Bryant Park (Mon-Fri 11:00-8:00 / and 10:00-8:00 Weekends), The Union Square Holiday Market (11:00-8:00 Mon-Sat), and the Columbus Circle Holiday Market, opening this week on the 27th (Mon-Sat 11:00-8:00, 11:00-7:00 Sun).
