Response to Raising the Floor:
Technology will replace so many good jobs that Americans won't have enough purchasing power to keep the economy going without an economic floor to stand on. I urge you to read Andy Stern's provocative and compelling book." - Robert B. Reich, Former U.S. Secretary of Labor under the Clinton Administration
