Six@Six: The American Dream in a Turbulent Era

Lecture Description
The simple promise of home ownership explains many of the divides in U.S. politics and the economy. Home ownership is at nearly a half-century low. Low mortgage rates have benefited the wealthy, while Americans without savings have found themselves paying more for rent. All of this has contributed to creating a tension that helped usher Donald Trump into the presidency. The differences in where we live, how we live and how we would like to live is an important story that a journalist who covers the American economy is uniquely qualified to tell.
