In the lengthening shadow of an exceptional year, Greenlight welcomed to its virtu Donald Cohen, founder and executive director of In the Public Interest, an Oakland-based national research and policy center that studies public goods and services, to discuss his new book co-authored with Allen Mikaelian, The Privatization of Everything. Hailed by Naomi Klein as “an essential read for those who want to fight the assault on public goods and the commons,” Cohen and Mikaelian discuss what happens when we subscribe to the theory that public power over essential public goods—such as clean water and air, education, public transportation, and the social safety net—is dangerous, and they lay out a road map for how to put power over public goods back in the hands of the people. Recorded December 1, 2021.
