Upcoming Public Talk about Jump-Starting America

Updated: Apr 6, 2019

Can the United States grow faster, create more good jobs, and genuinely spread opportunity?


Yes: by investing more in science and technology, by placing those investments strategically around the country, and by creating an Innovation Dividend – paying cash to all Americans every year, based on the success of public investments in the tech sector.


What technologies should receive support?  Which cities have the potential to become the next generation tech hubs?  How do we ensure that benefits from the next tech boom are shared more broadly?


Join Jon Gruber and Simon Johnson in discussing their new book, Jump-Starting America: How Breakthrough Science Can Revive Economic Growth and the American Dream, in a series of events and media appearances around the country.


The first public event is on Tuesday, April 9, organized by Harvard Book Store and held at the Brattle Theater in Cambridge, MA. Register here!


All are welcome! Attendees will have the opportunity to buy a signed advance copy of the book.

I like that you can play a quick game of eggycar whenever you want. You don't have to download anything or learn how to use difficult controls to enjoy this fun physics-based driving game.

Talks like this always feel like a chance to step back and look at the bigger picture of where things are headed. It’s interesting how ideas about growth, innovation, and community can come together in one conversation and spark new ways of thinking. In a subtle way, it feels like a divine story—where different perspectives meet and slowly shape what the future could look like.

I found matlab assignment help useful while practicing MATLAB problems, especially for understanding logic errors and improving my coding approach.
