Tonight, Michael will cover topics from his book *The Middle Out*, a brief
economic history, and what our national economic system looks like today.
Tonight is Michael's presentation, next Thursday is the online discussion
of Michael's ideas.

   Praise for his book includes:

“Tomasky has written an engrossing history of ideas. It’s an incisive look
> at neoliberalism’s trajectory and the rise of a new intellectual model for
> truly shared prosperity. *The Middle Out* is critical to understanding
> our current political economy.”
> *–Heather McGhee, New York Times bestselling author of The Sum of Us: What
> Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together*
>


>   It would not be enough to say that the articulate Michael Tomasky
> targets almost all the economic challenges of our time in his extraordinary
> new book, *The Middle Out*. He writes highly accessibly, makes economics
> a fascinating story, and has a powerful understanding of how economies
> work.  The American economy has not been run on the basis of well-founded
> ideas in the last forty years, he makes clear, but on the basis of narrow
> and self-centered interests. He provides pathways to return to an age of
> the kinds of values that once made it possible for a compassionately and
> intelligently run economy to fulfill the lives of all Americans.”
> *–Jeff Madrick, author of Invisible Americans: The Tragic Cost of Child
> Poverty*
>
and

> “A provocative, welcome platform for wresting economic conversations away
> from the moneyed class.”
> *—**Kirkus Reviews*
>
