Artificial intelligence (AI) and its threat to good jobs would seem to be an entirely new problem. But we can find useful ideas about how to respond in the work of David Ricardo, a founder of modern economics who observed the British Industrial Revolution firsthand. The evolution of his thinking, including some points he missed, holds many helpful lessons for us today. Private-sector tech leaders promise us a brighter future of less street at work, fewer boring meetings, more leisure time, and perhaps even a universal basic income. But should we believe them? Many people may lose what they reg ..read more

The cost analysis of solar and wind energy often omits a critical factor: reliability. While solar energy might cost less than natural gas, the marginal difference does not factor into the condition of ‘when the sun is shining’. Incorporating reliability costs can skyrocket the price of solar energy, suggesting an 11-42 times increase, argued Bjorn Lomborg (PhD), president of the Copenhagen Consensus and a visiting fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. Despite constantly being told that solar and wind are now the cheapest forms of electricity, governments across the world needed ..read more

As governments strive to meet the complex demands of the 21st century, adopting innovative management strategies, technological advancements, and a collaborative approach with the private sector will be crucial. In a think-piece edited here to a short form, Scott Blackburn, a senior partner of McKinsey & Company (Washington DC), Andrew Pickergill, a senior partner (Toronto), and Jorg Schubert, a partner (Dubai), have argued for a renewed focus on customer service and productivity to enhance the ability of public sector agencies to serve the public more effectively, cultivating a more resil ..read more
