From healthcare to education to clean water, the things that are owed to members of a democracy are under threat today. Our new issue explores the question of public goods and what we can do to save them.
From healthcare to education to clean water, public goods—things that are owed to members of a democracy—are increasingly threatened in the age of Trump. What can we do about it now and how can we safeguard the future? This video, based on our new print issue, The President's House Is Empty, considers these public goods: what they are, how to provide them, and how to ensure equitable access. What is at stake is not only what we owe each other, but who we are.
