Explore a bold vision for America's economic future in this thought-provoking book talk featuring Natalie Foster, co-founder of the Economic Security Project and senior fellow at the Aspen Institute's Future of Work Initiative. Delve into Foster's debut book, "The Guarantee: Inside the Fight for America's Next Economy," which challenges the traditional trickle-down approach and proposes a new economic framework built from the bottom up. Examine real-life experiences, collaborations with prominent activists and thinkers, and compelling narratives that question why government-backed guarantees are provided to the private sector but not to individuals. Gain insights into a potential 21st Century New Deal that guarantees housing, health care, higher education, dignified work, family care, and opportunities for generational wealth. Join the discussion moderated by Maureen Conway, with opening remarks by Dr. Manuel Pastor, as they explore innovative solutions to create economic security and well-being for all Americans.
