Astra Taylor on “The Age of Insecurity”

Season 4 Episode 437 | 26m 46s

The average household holds over $100 thousand in debt. The climate crisis, threats to democracy, and global wars add more worry to our already stressful lives. Can we somehow flip this “ethic of insecurity” to re-envision our society and enable us to work collectively and care for each other? How can we lessen insecurity and expand security — both as individuals and as a society?
