Listen (25 min): Most Americans think the system is broken. Here’s what a new one would look like.

An audio version of the article

The US presidential elections are less than a month away. Most Americans think the country is in desperate need of change — radical, systemic change — but who has any actual ideas that could change the system?

Instead the candidates are busy trying to lure voters through tax cuts and social programs, and to paint their opposition as the antichrist and this election as the last stop before Armageddon (from the lips of Elon Musk: “this will be the last election in America if you don’t vote”). But if Armageddon comes, it will be because the American people have been so riled up that they resort to violence.

What we need are real ideas for systemic change. We need to get to the roots of what’s making society sick.

This is a recording of an article from June 30th, 2024. You can find the written version of the article here.

Yes, writers have to eat, but paywalls just punish low-income people, and why shouldn’t they have access to the writing and ideas they want?
