The 1960S

In the 1960s, global decolonization and the civil rights movement inspired hope for structural change in the United States, but more than fifty years later, racial disparities in income and wealth, education, employment, health, housing, and incarceration remain entrenched. In addition, we have seen a resurgence of overt White supremacy following the election of President Trump. This chapter considers the potential of movements like Black Lives Matter and the Standing Rock water protectors in light of the experiences of the Black Panther Party, the American Indian Movement, and other efforts at community empowerment in the “long sixties.”

Job Polarization

We document that job polarization—contrary to the consensus— has started as early as the 1950s in the United States: middle-wage workers have been losing both in terms of employment and average wage growth compared to low- and high-wage workers. Given that polarization is a long-run phenomenon and closely linked to the shift from manufacturing to services, we propose a structural change driven explanation, where we explicitly model the sectoral choice of workers. Our simple model does remarkably well not only in matching the evolution of sectoral employment, but also of relative wages over the past 50 years. (JEL E24, J21, J22, J24, J31)

Lisbon Agenda

Subject The EU’s tech sector. Significance EU stock markets have been staging a sharp rally as concerns over the outlook for the region’s economic and political picture have diminished. However, more substantial gains will be needed if the EU is to recover the ground it has lost versus the United States over the last five years. Such gains will not be easy to achieve, especially in view of the EU’s weakness in the information technology (IT) sector. Impacts Structural change in the EU is likely to remain incremental. Macron could boost the French start-up sector and reinvigorate existing businesses -- if he can implement proposed reforms. Nonetheless, the EU as a whole needs vigorous action, perhaps through an updated and more realistic Lisbon agenda.
