What if everything we thought we knew about gun violence was wrong? Vital City, NYU Wagner School, and the Institute for Public Knowledge are hosting a conversation between journalist Matthew Yglesias and University of Chicago behavioral economist Jens Ludwig exploring Ludwig’s new book, “Unforgiving Places: The Unexpected Origins of American Gun Violence.” Drawing on decades of research and immersive fieldwork in Chicago, Ludwig shows that most gun violence is the result of fleeting, emotionally charged moments — and that the solutions can be simple, sidestepping the political debates that have hampered progress on one of the United States’ most intractable problems.
