With a Trump administration we don't know enough yet to make predictions, but if past behavior is any indication, I am not encouraged.

We should be investing where the public returns are greatest - that is in innovation.

Rethinking capitalism means rethinking the role of the public sector, the role of the private sector, the role of finance, and the relationship between them all.

Fixing markets isn't enough. We have to actively shape and create them and tilt the playing field in the direction of the growth we want.

The globalized nature of production and innovation means that the benefits don't necessarily stay in the country where the investments are made.

I don't know if I've ever played a character who's close to me. There have been some elements of myself in different roles. Sometimes, I show one side of myself and then completely conceal the other.
