Re-examining the cause of the Great Depression—the revolution in agriculture that threw millions out of work—the author argues that the U.S. is now facing and must manage a similar shift in the “real” economy, from industry to service, or risk a tragic replay of 80 years ago. http://www.vanityfair.com/politic... - Thomas Page

Skills Don’t Pay the Bills http://www.nytimes.com/2012... At GenMet, the starting pay is $10 an hour. Those with an associate degree can make $15, which can rise to $18 an hour after several years of good performance. From what I understand, a new shift manager at a nearby McDonald’s can earn around $14 an hour. ~ The average age of a highly skilled factory worker in the U.S. is now 56. “That’s average,” says Hal Sirkin, the lead author of the study. “That means there’s a lot who are in their 60s. They’re going to retire soon.” And there are not enough trainees in the pipeline, he said, to replace them. ~ Potential workers choose more promising career paths. “It’s individually rational,” says Howard Wial, an economist at the Brookings Institution who specializes in manufacturing employment. “But it’s not socially optimal.” In earlier decades, Wial says, manufacturing workers could expect decent-paying jobs that would last a long time, and it was easy to match worker supply and demand. Since then, with the confluence of computers, increased trade and weakened unions, the social contract has collapsed, and worker-employer matches have become harder to make. Now workers and manufacturers “need to recreate a system” — a new social contract — in which their incentives are aligned. , 12 -8 http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012... 12 -9 The New Industrial Revolution: The shape of 21st century manufacturing http://www.youtube.com/watch... , 12 -10 http://www.theatlantic.com/busines... http://www.nytimes.com/2012...& , 12 -26 http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012... http://www.voxeu.org/article... http://washingtonexaminer.com/telepre... , 12 -28 http://www.wired.com/gadgetl... , 1 -2 Robots are taking your job and mine: deal with it http://boingboing.net/2013... , 1 -3 http://www.kk.org/thetech... , 1 -13 http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinion... , 1 -27 http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013... , 1 -30 http://www.washingtonpost.com/politic... , 1 -31 http://www.nytimes.com/2013... http://raceagainstthemachine.com/ [[[[ 2 -12 http://gawker.com/airline... - Thomas Page

Partly because they don’t understand any of this. Beyond that, there’s a moralistic streak: people should be forced to work, for their own good, you see (are there no poorhouses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ?). And of course, there’s the underlying rage that a disproportionate share of the beneficiaries (though by no means a preponderance) will be Those People. ~ http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2014... - Thomas Page
