Even without hard numbers you most likely feel the economic polarization
that’s been happening over the last few decades. And who needs numbers to
know just how much technology has changed our lives. It’s the connection
between tech and the economy that I personally find super fascinating and
it’s an area of expertise for this week’s guest, MIT’s Andrew McAfee.
Andrew is a principle research scientist at MIT. He’s focused on how tech
is changing business, the economy and society overall. He’s written a
number of books on this, the most recent one is The Second Machine Age,
which was a New York Times bestseller and won a book of the year award. He
has been a referenced source by Harvard Business Review, The Economist, The
Wall St. Journal, and The New York Times. He’s talked about his work on The
Charlie Rose Show and 60 Minutes, at TED, Davos, the Aspen Ideas Festival,
and in front of many other audiences.
