 Political Writing\nThese days, everyone feels insecure. We are financially 
 stressed and emotionally overwhelmed. The status quo isn’t working for 
 anyone, even those who appear to have it all. What is going on?\nIn this 
 urgent cultural diagnosis, author and activist Astra Taylor exposes how 
 seemingly disparate crises―rising inequality and declining mental health, 
 the ecological emergency, and the threat of authoritarianism―originate 
 from a social order built on insecurity. From home ownership and education 
 to the wellness industry and policing, many of the institutions and systems 
 that promise to make us more secure actually undermine us.\nMixing social 
 critique, memoir, history, political analysis, and philosophy, this 
 genre-bending book rethinks both insecurity and security from the ground 
 up. By facing our existential insecurity and embracing our vulnerability, 
 Taylor argues, we can begin to develop more caring, inclusive, and 
 sustainable forms of security to help us better weather the challenges 
 ahead. The Age of Insecurity will transform how you understand yourself 
 and society―while illuminating a path toward meaningful change.\nStrike 
 Debt Bay Area hosts this non-technical book group discussion monthly on new 
 and radical economic thinking. Our first book was  Doughnut Economics, and 
 our most recent book was Elinor Ostrom's Rules for Radicals. For the rest
