Stephen Pimpare, lecturer of American politics and public policy, recently joined the New Books Network as host of the public policy channel. New Books Network offers podcasts on topics from literature to religion to technology and everything in between, all hosted by experts in the field. As a host, Pimpare leads podcast interviews with fellow authors within the public policy realm.
Pimpare's most recent interview is with Christopher Farcy, author of Welfare for the Wealthy: Parties, Social Spending, and Inequality in the United States. In this podcast, Pimpare and Farcy discuss the implications for social welfare policy of a Donald Trump presidency and unified Republican control of Congress.
In a previous interview, Pimpare sat down with Daniel Hatcher, professor of law and author of The Poverty Industry: The Exploitation of America's Most Vulnerable Citizens, to discuss the ways in which state governments and for-profit contractors exploit poor and low-income people.
