About this listen

This audio essay challenges the long-held political mantra "It's the economy, stupid," arguing that it's time to shift our focus to the micro-economy. While macroeconomic indicators like GDP growth may paint a rosy picture, millions of Americans are struggling with financial insecurity.

It argues that prioritizing policies that address the root causes of financial hardship is crucial for creating a truly prosperous and equitable society.
