How do we reconcile national prosperity with rising homelessness? How do we build systems that don’t sacrifice people in the name of progress? In There Is No Place For Us, journalist Brian Goldstone follows working-class families pushed into homelessness by skyrocketing rents and shrinking safety. In After the Spike, economists Michael Geruso and Dean Spears investigate how future population growth and decline would impact living conditions, social equality and the general wellbeing of society. Join us for a dynamic discussion that spans systems and human stories, macro trends and micro realities, and explores the question of what it will take to build a more equitable future for all.
