Book Discussion with Dr. Gary A. Hoover

Please join us for a book discussion with the author of Ladder or Lottery: Economic Promises and the Reality of Who Gets Ahead, Dr. Gary Hoover.

This insightful and data-driven book equips readers to answer these questions: is our social contract a ladder to higher economic standing, or simply a lottery where many will buy a ticket, but only a few will find success? And how can we best align social promises with our lived economic realities?

Hoover is Executive Director of the Murphy Institute and Professor of Economics and Affiliate Professor of Law at Tulane University.
