Parks. Freeways. Street lamps. You might not group those together, but they're all public goods – the goods and services that prop up a functioning society. They're also things that our market-based economy doesn't supply in the right places and right amounts without some thoughtful public policy. Spencer Bowen (MPP '20) sat down with his fellow MPP candidate Eric Harris Bernstein to talk about public goods – and specifically public restrooms.  In this episode, you'll hear a broad overview of public goods, takes on ongoing bathroom-centered equity battles, scholarly perspectives on restrooms' place in our culture, and much more. You'll also hear a story about bathrooms that Eric produced in the fall for North Gate Radio's "The Fix," a radio show about public policy solutions.
