This week, the Incorruptibles gaze into their crystal balls to predict the year ahead. We discuss what's already happened in a turbulent 2025, what might be coming in a pivotal 2026, and what we can do to make our future brighter.

You’re listening to Incorruptible Mass. Our goal is to help people transform state politics: we investigate why it’s so broken, imagine what we could have here in MA if we fixed it, and report on how you can get involved.

This week, we continue our series on the economy with an even broader view on why things look so bleak right now. We talk about the unchecked rise of monopolization, how AI is distorting our economic and energy systems, and the urgent crisis of inflation. It's not all bad news, though — we also talk about what we can do at the state and local levels to help fix it, even while Trump is in power.

We continue our series on housing with Joyce Mandell, a community organizer and activist who's focused on this very issue. We discuss what zoning is and why it's so important, the structural barriers that NIMBYs and opposition to zoning reforms erect, and what we can do to help fix big problems in our own local communities.
