Up 2 Cents A Share Down 8 Million Jobs

During the recession (1999-2004), the United States allowed a million people to enter the country to fill highly skilled positions for which, it was said, no skilled American workers could be found. These positions included motel managers, teachers, even an assistant women's volleyball coach! With over 8 million American citizens looking for work, employers felt that they had to go outside the United States to find workers with the skills and qualifications to fill these and dozens of other positions. Did you know that if someone is caught trying to enter the United States with a phony or stolen passport, the passport is returned to that person, who is then released? In Up 2 Cents a Share Down 8 Million Jobs, Dan Geoffrey takes you along on his journey of discovery to learn how immigration has affected not only our nation's jobs, but also our national security.

We are at the dawn of the Autonomous Revolution, a technological revolution as decisive as the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. Autonomous machines are capable of learning and adapting faster than humans and entirely on their own. And for the first time in human history we no longer require physical locations to work, play, shop, socialize, or be entertained. William Davidow and Michael Malone, authors of the seminal book The Virtual Corporation, explore the enormous implications of these developments. They show why increases in productivity no longer translate into increases in the GDP, how invisible algorithms control what you see and hear, and much more. Many of the book's recommendations—such as monetizing internet usage and making companies pay for personal information—are likely to be controversial, but this debate needs to begin now, before the Autonomous Revolution overcomes us.
