In 2017, New Consensus began originally as a project called Left Right Forward. Our goal was the same: present a new, positive worldview for how to intentionally tackle our biggest problems. To do that, we began by creating a set of YouTube videos trying to explain in simple terms some of the fundamentals of how an economy works and why we are facing some of the big problems we face today.
The videos we produced are listed below.
This video kicks off this new YouTube channel. If you like it, please help us get going by subscribing and liking the video. Our goal is to offer a mix or short and in-depth videos that give a new take on big ideas. This video is the second and slightly less simplified edition of an earlier version. (NO CELEBRITIES were harmed in the production of this video! Matt Damon is awesome and has a great sense of humor about this stuff.)
