The American Dream, Economic Mobility, and Everything in Between — With Gonzalo Schwarz

Today, the Archbridge Institute is excited to announce the launch of a new podcast! We’ll be hosting conversations with a wide variety of scholars, writers, and community leaders interested in exploring the American Dream, human flourishing, and everything in between — with new episodes coming out every Wednesday. In starting this new project, we strive to bring listeners the best insights from both inside and outside the policy world on the barriers holding back personal achievement and how they can be lifted so each person has the opportunity to live a better, fuller, and richer life.

In the first episode of the Archbridge Podcast, Archbridge Institute Director of Programs Ben Wilterdink talks with Gonzalo Schwarz, the Founder, President, and CEO of the Institute. Recorded last October, they discuss why the American Dream continues to be an important vision for the United States, how the pandemic is reshaping traditional education, and some of the core factors research suggests affects rates of economic mobility.
