AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
The seeds of Pulitzer Prize winner Farah Stockman’s latest book were sown in 2016, after the US election results came in. “I kept hearing, ‘He’s going to bring the factories back. He’s going to save my job.’” This recurring message ultimately led her to penning American Made, which follows the lives of three factory workers and tells the story of what happens when their workplace is shuttered. The latest from our Author Talks series features a fascinating conversation with Stockman on jobs, identity, the American working class, and the role of race, gender, and intersectional factors. You don’t want to miss this new interview.

Quote of the Day
“Engineers are the hidden enablers of everything that we take for granted in modern life. From turning on the tap, to the smartphones that we check the moment we’ve woken up, to clean energy, to access to medicine, engineers literally design and deliver the physical and digital infrastructure, the services that we rely on every day—even if we are totally oblivious to it.”
—Hayaatun Sillem, CEO of the UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering, in a new episode of the McKinsey Global Institute’s Forward Thinking podcast discussing the enduring power of engineering in a digitizing world
