Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed A. Mechele Dickerson, author of THE MIDDLE CLASS NEW DEAL: RESTORING UPWARD MOBILITY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM.

She explains how rising costs across housing, education, and healthcare are interconnected—and what policy changes are necessary to restore genuine upward mobility in the United States.A. Mechele Dickerson is the Arthur M. Moeller Chair in Bankruptcy Law and Practice at the University of Texas at Austin. She is also the author of HOMEOWNERSHIP IN AMERICA’S FINANCIAL UNDERCLASS  Her scholarship focuses on consumer finance, housing policy, and the economic challenges facing working‑ and middle‑class families.Follow Diverse Voices Book Review on Social Media: Facebook - @diversevoicesbookreview Instagram - @diverse_voices_book
