This one's about how both crises actually got made. Gus D. from Maine People's Alliance and Patrick L. of Modern Money Lab cover the banking side: deregulation starting in the 1970s handed control over credit and investment to private banks answerable to shareholders, not communities. Jade covers the housing side: federal disinvestment from public housing pushed construction and ownership into private hands, increasingly into private equity that treats housing as an investment vehicle rather than shelter. Neither collapse was inevitable. Both came from political decisions, which means different decisions can undo them. This is a Zoom session. RSVP below, and we'll email you the link.
