Can budgets and even the federal reserve be brought under public control? One radical tool for grassroots democracy that is taking hold is Participatory Budgeting. Josh Lerner is co-founder and executive director of the Participatory Budgeting Project and is the author of two books, both released last year: Making Democracy Fun: How Game Design Can Empower Citizens and Transform Politics, and Everyone Counts: Could Participatory Budgeting Change Democracy?  WATCH THE FULL EPISODE DONATE for access to the transcript LISTEN to the show as a podcast   Also on the show: what is the Federal Reserve, and what role could it have?
