MIT Professor Liz Reynolds says to compete with China on manufacturing and critical technologies, the one thing the U.S. can't do is try to emulate China. Strategic and economic success depends on finding a new, smarter path for American industry. Full episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

It's a fatal conceit to think we can tell a moral and ethical story to bring Americans together today without addressing the economic reality that has failed them too often over the past 50 years. That's the story I tell in The Wage Standard: and what we can do to change it. thewagestandard.com
