Mike Konczal, Senior Director of Policy and Research at the Economic Security Project and co-author of The Affordability Framework, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Mike discuss the why the affordability crisis is rooted in "broken markets" and "broken incomes," why two administrations in a row have struggled to handle the affordability issue, and how the Economic Security Project's long-term framework can inform future policy decisions. Plus, Marshall introduces the Niskanen Center Summer Institute for undergraduates, launching this summer.
