The Book of Jobs By Joseph E. Stiglitz →
Forget monetary policy. Re-examining the cause of the Great Depression—the revolution in agriculture that threw millions out of work—the author argues that the U.S. is now facing and must manage a similar shift in the “real” economy, from industry to service, or risk a tragic replay of 80 years ago. This is a long, but very interesting point of view on the American Economy.

Very interesting and well thought-out comment with regards to the chart shown on my previous post.  I found it to be very realistic from a philosophical point of view and at the same time very impractical and abstract.  It reminded me of the rhetoric typically heard in a political philosophy class in college.  It still makes for an interesting read.
