Prefab micro-units as a strategy for affordable housing
Increasingly large cities find themselves with a scarcity of affordable housing stock and cannot increase inventory quickly enough to meet urban growth trends. Some limitations include, lot size, regulatory barriers as well as environmental concerns. We focus on these barriers, first providing a background on these trends in the United States and then offering cases of how these opportunities might be applied as supply-side solutions to housing m…
The Good Citizen
In The Good Citizen, some of the most eminent contemporary thinkers take up the question of the future of American democracy in an age of globalization, growing civic apathy, corporate unaccountability, and purported fragmentation of the American common identity by identity politics.
Has Religion Gone Global

In first-century Palestine, it did not have the same metaphorical and strictly religious connotation that makes the term so safe within our own theological world. In fact, it evoked the memory and visionary impulse of Yahweh who acts to deliver Yahweh's ‘chosen ones’ from occupation and oppression at the hands of alien nations…
An Interview with Billy Bragg
While the proprietors of international capitalism are dancing over the apparent demise of communism, Billy Bragg, the socialist troubadour-activist from London, is trying to disrupt their party by singing a different tune. Not discouraged by the news from Prague and Bucharest—"good riddance to those career politicians of any stripe who use their power against the people"—Bragg, along with Wiggy, his constant companion, is carrying a message of so…
