Episode 10 - Ending Structural Precarity

Join Micah, Ellen, Homero and John this week for a conversation about some of the ways precarity - a state of fundamental economic insecurity with no guarantees or protection - is threaded through our American lives. How can control and power change with regard to housing, education, and work in this era of abundance, disconnection and inequality? One of the big questions: what can local governments do to enable the rebuilding of the commons? (35:12)
