Many thanks to Orly Lobel, Melissa Hart, Noah Zatz, and especially Steven Greenhouse for their terrific participation in our book club for “The Big Squeeze.” We touched on a lot of facets of the book, and we were fortunate to get such thoughtful and considered responses from the author. I hope the club will be a resource for folks in the future who are reading the book for class or for enlightenment.
