Natalie Foster, the president and co-founder of the Economic Security Project and an Aspen Institute Fellow, is the guest on this episode of Your Call. She is also the author of “The Guarantee: Inside the Fight for America’s Next Economy.”
Foster invites readers to imagine a country where basic needs such as housing, health care, education, work, family care, inheritance, and a minimum income are not just accessible to all but guaranteed by the government for every individual. She envisions a government in the wealthiest country on earth that takes on the responsibility of ensuring that every American’s essential needs are met.
Through her work with the Economic Security Project’s Guaranteed Income Now initiative and her insights on building a better America, Foster advocates for a new economic framework in which everyone has access to essential resources and support from the government. She believes that it is possible for the United States to prioritize the well-being of its citizens and create a more just and inclusive society.
Foster aims to inspire individuals to envision a better future and advocate for policies that promote economic security for all. Her book “The Guarantee” provides valuable resources for further exploration of her ideas on creating a more equitable society.
