Why We Started The Feudal Future Podcast
America is becoming more feudal and less a land of opportunity. But there’s still time to turn this around — if we understand what is happening and what actions can make a real difference.
This is the core of our mission.
With today’s class structure starting to resemble the Medieval era, opportunity is slipping away for small business owners, property holders, skilled workers, and professionals. Join world-renowned author Joel Kotkin and tech entrepreneur Marshall Toplansky as they explore ideas and insights to rebuild broad-based opportunity for all Americans.
