How Will America Work in the 21st Century? (LARGE PDF)
by Decius at 3:16 pm EST, Dec 7, 2002

A very interesting set of challenges facing our economy over the next 25 years and some strategy for addressing those challenges.

I like most of the recommendations being made here, but I find the predictions to be ominous. Our productivity growth for the last 20 years has been based on having more people with higher education levels. Eventually you reach a point where you max that out, and then growth slows.

One of the more interesting conclusions here: The powers that be are strongly incented to create as much upward social mobility as possible.
