​​​​In America’s Hidden Economic Engines, editors Bob Schwartz and Rachel Lipson spotlight community colleges as institutions uniquely equipped to foster more equitable economic growth across America’s regions. As Schwartz and Lipson show, these colleges are the best-placed institutions to reverse the decades-long rise in US economic inequality by race, class, and geography.

For this event, David Deming will moderate a conversation with Schwartz and Lipson on the findings from the book and why they believe community colleges are well-positioned to advance economic mobility​ in America.
