Future Now 016 — "The Guarantee" author Natalie Foster

Natalie Foster, author of "The Guarantee: Inside the Fight for America's Next Economy," is the president and co-founder of the Economic Security Project. She is also an alumna of IFTF's Future for Good Fellows program. Foster is a leading figure in the movement to create a more inclusive, resilient, and dignified economy for all Americans. In this conversation with Marina Gorbis, IFTF's Executive Director, Foster discusses the hard-fought progress being made to establish a new "guarantee economy." This economy ensures that every citizen's basic needs for healthcare, housing, education, income, and more are met as birthrights.
