Summary
hat is economic security, and what policies can help more families achieve it?
In talking about the New Deal, President Franklin Roosevelt provided a vision for what economic security should look like in America, a vision that CSD Faculty Director William Elliott III elaborates in this essay. To be secure, Elliott notes, families require enough to live by and something to live for; that is, they require income and assets. Elliott makes the case that policy has a vital role to play in creating and sustaining this security.
This Perspective presents remarks given by CSD Faculty Director William Elliott III during “What Economic Security Looks Like and How to Get There,” May 18, 2022.
