Show Notes
The American Dream –the idea that anyone can succeed regardless of their background– often feels just like that, a dream.
Today I speak with John Friedman, an economist and Co-Director of Opportunity Insights. John explains the barriers to opportunity that under-resourced communities face, and why removing these can improve the American economy. He also tells us why social mobility is harder to achieve today.
