Book Talk: the Economy We Deserve!

Past event
Oct 3, 2024, 7 to 9 PM

Can you imagine an America where housing, health care, a college education, dignified work, family care, an inheritance, and an income floor are not only attainable by all but guaranteed, by our government, for everyone? But isn't this pie-in-the-sky thinking? Not by a long shot, according to Natalie Foster, co-founder of the Economic Security Project. She says our current economic system is chock full of government-backed guarantees, from bailouts to bankruptcy protection, to keep the private sector in business. So why can't the same be true for the rest of us?

Her vision for a new American Guarantee is rooted in real-life experiences, collaborations with some of today's most important activists and visionaries, and a concrete sense of the policies that are possible—and ready to implement—in 21st-century America.

Natalie Foster joins Mike Pieciak, Vermont State Treasurer, to discuss shifting the debate about our shared economic system.
