Hosted by Citizen Koala Monet, Make America Better Now is a make-your-own-manifesto podcast built in real-time, with micro episodes on topics at the intersection of democracy and capitalism. By joining me on this journey, you will have a chance to reflect on big issues and can create your own manifesto alongside my own. I’ll be your guide and have the outline to get you (and me!) started. If you are wondering how this country gets better, then you’ll have a lot of thought-starters to form your own, comprehensive outlook. Talk soon.
We don’t always have to talk about politics, which can feel divisive and uncomfortable. We can always talk about America and our democracy and our economy, because that is based on values, even though the discussions may still be uncomfortable.
The penultimate episode of season 1!

America's titans, not just tech, are dominating markets of all kinds. How much choice do we really have and what are the anti schools of thought to solve this?

How will consumer patterns change and will they be long-lasting? What does this mean for our better America?
