Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions Speaker Series. "Rebuilding Democracy: Journalist Osita Nwanevu in conversation with U-M Professor Elizabeth Anderson." Oct. 9 at 6pm in the Ross School of Business.

Osita Nwanevu is a contributing editor at The New Republic and a columnist for The Guardian. His new book, The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding, asks who the American founding actually empowered, who it left out, and what a truly democratic America would require.

Nwanevu will be in conversation with Elizabeth Anderson, the John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy at U-M and a MacArthur Fellow. Her books, including Private Government and Hijacked, examine how work, markets, and power shape democratic life.
