Oren Cass Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Applying the framework from their book, The Six Faces of Globalization, @antheaeroberts and @nicolas_lamp highlight how the conservative critique of globalization aligns with and diverges from other critiques. https://t.co/W8yKqZsM9w

In @nytimes, I review Raghuram Rajan's "The Third Pillar." I really wanted to like it -- the start is bold and compelling. But "what begins as an incisive critique of how economists and policymakers abandoned community ends as a dismaying illustration." https://t.co/MPNcRdLoXl

1/ My latest essay is about the paradigm shift underway in conservatism. "Paradigm shift" has become cliched consultant-speak, but it was an important new concept when introduced by Thomas Kuhn in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962). 🧵https://t.co/q3UKxD08Nq

This week's Compass Point is by @RichardvReeves, adapted from his new book, Of Boys and Men. "Boys who struggle at school and college are more likely to become men who struggle in the workplace and in family life." https://t.co/1doRhXDNv4

Great @WSJ review by @WilcoxNMP of The Once and Future Worker, pairing it with wonderful new book by @isawhill, The Forgotten Americans, which offers left-of-center emphasis on the importance of work. Underscores how this issue shuffles the political deck. https://t.co/wysCEnY7Ax

My review of "The Job," by @EllenRuppelShel. This was a fun one to write (and to read). The book illuminates a lot about what work means and why it matters. But read it for the profiles and examples, not the economic and policy analysis. https://t.co/Ah1XFEvBsh https://t.co/lb4vlnzn67

Apropos of the new findings re: social networks and mobility, I highly recommend @JacksonmMatt's The Human Network. My review @WSJ here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-human-network-review-like-goes-with-like-11554246534

2/ We must begin back with Richard Freeman & Joel Rogers's landmark work in 1990s on "What Workers Want." By overwhelming majorities, workers said they would prefer a jointly-run worker-management organization to a traditional union. Jointly run. As in, management helps run it. https://t.co/LujeUEEG9s
