    The market gets the value of many things wrong: the environment, parenthood (esp. mothers), caregiving, arts, volunteering, infrastructure, preventative care, journalism, the work of women and underrepresented minorities. Technology will devalue most labor itself. We must adapt.

    It’s immoral how we have loaded up our young people with $1.4 trillion in student loan debt. Underemployment of recent college grads is up to 44% and default rates are up to 11.2%. I would forgive and reduce student loans - it would stimulate the economy.
