The Sum of Us

by
Heather McGhee

published in

2021
Cover of The Sum of Us
Embarking on a deeply personal journey across the country from Mississippi to Maine, the author tallies up what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm: the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others.

I am the library's digital experience manager. I like to read fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction and retellings, especially extra-long tomes. When it comes to music, give me anything with a groove and some soul.
