With intelligence and care (as well as with a trove of sometimes heart-breaking and sometimes heart-opening true stories) Heather McGhee shows us what racism has cost all of us, as a society. More advanced praise for McGhee’s newly released book comes from #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert: “ The Sum of Us is a powerhouse of a book about the deep, enduring, cross-cultural, multi-generational, and real-life cost of racist policy-making in the United States. In talks based on her highly anticipated book, economics and public policy expert Heather McGhee has crafted a blueprint for not only a more prosperous country, but also a more just, powerful, and humane one. “ The Sum of Us is a must read for everyone who wants to understand how we got here, but more importantly, where we can go from here-and how we get there, together,” says Alicia Garza, author of The Purpose of Power and co-founder of Black Lives Matter.
