In the United States today, too many families cannot achieve the life they want despite their best efforts, too many communities have not benefited fully from national economic growth, and too many Americans believe the economy does not work for them.
The American Academy of Arts and Sciences invites you to the release of Advancing a People-First Economy , the final report of the Academy’s Commission on Reimagining Our Economy (CORE). In addition to the report, the event marks the release of the CORE Score, a county-level dashboard of wellbeing. Together, the report and the dashboard make the case for a shift in national priorities, from a focus on how the economy is doing onto how Americans are doing.
In a conversation moderated by David Leonhardt, commission cochairs Katherine Cramer, Ann Fudge, and Nicholas Lemann will discuss Advancing a People-First Economy and its fifteen recommendations to make an economy that works for the people who make it work. They will also share the process that allowed a diverse, cross-partisan, and multidisciplinary group to agree to solutions for some of the biggest challenges facing the American people. Commission member Anna Deavere Smith will deliver opening comments and Commission member Jacob Hacker will
showcase the CORE Score and explain why the nation needs to reimagine how it measures the economy.
