A different way to address political frustration
Mark Sappenfield
In today鈥檚 issue, I talk to author Ethan Zuckerman about the mistrust behind America鈥檚 political frustration. His idea: Consider other levers for change, like economics or technology.聽
We have two other stories about exactly that. New England鈥檚 last coal-burning energy plant is closing. Says writer Troy Sambajon, 鈥淩esidents say that it appears that economics has accomplished what more than a decade of protests alone did not.鈥� In Africa, those seeking an electric future wonder what will drive change. Lenny Rashid Ruvaga鈥檚聽story shows technology and economics will be key.聽
One way to address political frustrations, it seems, might be to focus less on politics.聽
