America’s economy is a mess and social fabric fraying.
Powerful computers, handheld devices, robots and artificial intelligence make our lives easier and workers more productive but destroy jobs at an alarming pace. The new opportunities created require a better education than most Americans receive.
These pressures are exacerbated by competition from Germany and other northern European countries where job training is better and Asia where labor is much cheaper. This is multiplied yet again by Washington’s failure to negotiate good international trade agreements and adequately defend Americans from foreign cheating on those agreements.
