Golden Gates: Fighting for Housing in America  book cover

When it comes to making capitalism work for all, home ownership has long been viewed as an important foundation. In Golden Gates (released Feb. 2020), New York Times housing reporter Conor Dougherty shows how skyrocketing rents and home ownership costs have not only squeezed many Americans but prevented them from building wealth. Looking at the San Francisco Bay area as an example, this book shows how escalating housing costs contribute to income inequality, providing insightful food for thought for Social Capital leaders who want to make a difference.
