In Episode #253, Osi sits down with journalist David J. Lynch to unpack how globalization reshaped the lives of American workers. They revisit the 1990s, a pivotal decade when policy decisions and global market shifts set the stage for today’s economic and cultural divides. Lynch explains how political missteps and a lack of support for displaced workers left entire communities struggling to adapt to a rapidly changing world.
