Be sure to check it out.

Quote of the Day
“We have all the tools we need to be prosperous and to actually use the improving productivity and the growing capability of all the technologies we’re creating to raise standards of living for many, many people... It’s all doable. The problem is that it’s a political problem. And that’s much, much harder.”
—David Autor, Ford Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, on the future of labor markets in a recent episode of the McKinsey Global Institute’s Forward Thinking podcast
