The economy is down. Unemployment is up. Everywhere we turn, people are making drastic changes in their lives – switching careers, moving away. We’ve weathered difficult times before, but something about this seems different. At the same time, society is finally addressing climate change and the world is becoming flatter than ever. Will change really come with the end of the Bush era? Is the “it can’t get much worse” mantra worth banking on? Join us for a frank discussion about how Bay Area residents are reassessing their lives to suit a new society.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club on January 5, 2009.
