Solutions: Recent Episodes
Solutions Team
We use research and evidence to tackle the biggest problems in society, from economic justice to cultural issues and more.
In the third episode of Solutions, we discuss why wages have stagnated, and what it will take to ensure the financial security of all working Americans. We'll examine the latest evidence on the impact of minimum wages, but also why raising the minimum wage won't be enough, as the complexity of today's economy demands tackling this issue from multiple angles.
Our second episode of Solutions is about misinformation: what is it, why does it spread, who spreads it, and what can be done about it? The problem of misinformation is perhaps more pressing now than it ever has been, as social media and divisive politics have reshaped the way that we interact with the world around us.
In this episode, Grant and Elias tackle the United States homelessness epidemic. In the process, we go over Housing First policy, zoning laws, 3D printing, and various aspects of building and distributing affordable housing for all.
