How do we create a more inclusive economy, with good jobs and dignity for all? Economic policy ideas remain in flux today, as debates rage on the efficacy of minimum wages, collective bargaining, redistributive taxation, and place-based policies to restore the middle class and AI threatens to wreak havoc with labor markets. This panel of distinguished economists and sociologists will bring a research-based perspective to these debates and advance concrete polices.
