The King of Stuff welcomes Greg Brooks, President of the Better Cities Project, which helps people in America’s largest cities live free, happy lives. BCP uncovers what works, promotes solutions, and forges partnerships that turn ideas into results, most recently outlined in their report “Getting Back to Work: An Economic Recovery Playbook for America’s Cities.” (Full disclosure: Jon serves on the BCP board gratis.) Prior to founding BCP, Greg was principal of West Third Group, and worked with Reason Foundation, Compact For America, and the Goldwater Institute (where he suffered mightily as Jon’s boss).
