Description

In this episode of the Plutonomix Podcast, Laurie Kamhi and Barnaby Levin begin with a reminder of the pending collapse of our Social Security and Medicare systems. They recommend a few, incremental actions they hope we'll take as a Country and some things in which to invest -- turning, today, to farming and farmland, where they first address some key issues for context.
