Austin co-authored the fantastic book, "The New Chicago Way," which details the central issues causing the city's dysfunction and proposes a better way forward for the city of Chicago.

Austin's work greatly benefits anyone interested in municipal governments, how they fail and succeed, and what lessons cities can learn from each other.

This season has flown by so fast, but I have some good news: one final episode of season two is coming at you this Saturday!

We'll stick around in Chicago and visit with Taylor Dawson from the Beacon Center of Tennessee.

We'll compare and contrast our two states and see if we can take some inspiration from their exciting work just over the mountains in the name of free enterprise and individual liberty.

Take care,
