Policy and a Pint - Strapped: Why America's 20- and 30-Somethings Can't Get Ahead

with author Tamara Draut and Chris Farrell, host of American Public Media's Marketplace Money. Hosted by The Current's Steve Seel.

February 8, 6:00 p.m.
Varsity Theater
1308 4th St. SE, Minneapolis (in Dinkytown).

Cost: $10; $5 for students.

Strapped, a new book by Tamara Draut, examines the new obstacle course facing young adults as they try to build careers, buy homes, and start families. Draut argues that government policy and economic and social trends have dramatically altered -- and made more difficult -- the process of becoming an adult. But what policy decisions got us to this point? How can we get out of it? And are today's 20- and 30- somethings really charting new territory?

Policy and a Pint is co-sponsored by the Citizens League and 89.3 The Current.
