America left the goldilocks period, now what?

The Acorn Land Labs team invites you to join us on a brief journey back to the 'Goldilocks period' of American history, spanning the 1950s to the 1970s, where economic growth and stability were high, fostering a burgeoning middle class and unprecedented opportunities. This podcast delves deeper into the contrasting landscape since the 1970s, marked by stagnating wages, escalating housing costs, health costs, education costs and an overall spike in the cost of living that has left many Americans struggling to keep pace. We explore the transformative potential of simple living, off-grid technologies, and community rebuilding as innovative solutions to address these contemporary challenges. Together, we seek to uncover practical and sustainable ways to recalibrate our lifestyles and communities, striving to recapture the balance and prosperity of the 'Goldilocks period' for the modern era.
