More on: Economic disparities

The podcast episodes provided explore various aspects of economic disparities, including their impact on different communities, the role of policy and government, and the relationships between economic conditions and other social and political factors.

For example, episode Ep. 6: Cities in Crisis, AI Anxiety, and Political Pandemonium discusses the 'doom loop' facing some cities, where economic decline and population loss feed into each other, and how this disproportionately affects lower-income and marginalized communities. Episode Much more than just checking a box highlights how the inclusion of Arab Americans in federal data collection could reveal previously hidden economic disparities in those communities.

The episodes also touch on topics like the varying economic experiences of different voter groups, the connections between economic pressures and political discourse, and the ways in which economic hardship can exacerbate other social issues like medical debt and food insecurity.
