Senior Policy Adviser to the Financial Stability Oversight Council and Senior Policy Adviser at the SEC.
If you have been following the current debate about employment, the job guarantee, productivity, living standard, distribution, and creating a vision for the future, go read this. It's insightful in itself and important to this debate, as well as for policy in general.
