This week, we examine how broken systems impact our lives and the economy and how people respond. Our two lead articles look at two different systems—the deeply flawed US disaster recovery system, and the flawed yet critical UN system that advances the world’s 17 sustainable development goals. Our third article calls for nonprofits to resist an effort to claw back $350 billion approved by Congress just three months ago to support state, local, and tribal governments (and the nonprofits that often depend on them); the fact that such a reversal is even possible speaks to how deeply broken the US political system is. Lastly, we feature a webinar that both critiques our current systems of labor while setting forth a vision of a far more positive world of work.
