Susan i wanted to put the cover of your new book, dignity, on the screen. And have you explain its essence to me. Chris it is a book about my five years driving around the United States, spending time in what i would call back road america, the part of america that is everywhere. It is not a red state or blue state thing, it is the towns and communities that have been ignored or left behind or forgotten. Places like selma, alabama, like the north side of milwaukee, places like the bronx in new york city. Places that are kind of stigmatized and defined in various ways as being places where there is high crime or poverty, but places that make up a large part of the United States. Susan that is the back row, the front row is chris the front row is me. Me and my colleagues. I used to work on wall street. I was there for 20 years before i did this. I have a phd in physics. Those are what i call front row professions. People who have harvard degrees, yale degrees, people who make up a large

I read it. I love it. We will be selling it afterwards. You should buy it. Its beautiful. And i said beautiful because its also a photo book as well as a great collection of stories that really reveal america. Chris is the first guy ive had on stage at a guy who has a phd in physics. Then he used a phd in physics to go into finance, then when he had this job in finance, he started going for walks during the day, ill a bridge destroyed because its in the book. His walks got longer and longer he ended up at hunts point which if you know your geography is not terribly close to the financial district. At hunts point he was exposed to what he called the backdrop of america. And this is drug addicts, drug dealers, prostitutes. It convinced him he needed to figure out what was going on in this background across the country.
