This week, we look at some of the key economic choices we face—choices that will either maintain the status quo or challenge it. Our lead story looks at the growing economic importance of dynastic wealth in the US, a trend that will only continue unless it is interrupted by policy change. We also feature an article about the infrastructure bill and what the bipartisan compromise says about the nation’s ability—or inability—to meet national investment needs. A video clip from last month’s webinar addresses the looming threat of automation and artificial intelligence and how to turn that threat into an opportunity. Lastly, our upcoming Remaking the Economy webinar will examine what housing justice requires and will explore what is needed to realign housing policy to truly achieve housing for all.
