    From Obama CEA: Some newer tech markets are also characterized by network effects, with large positive spillovers from having many consumers use the same product. Markets in which network effects are important, such as social media sites, may come to be dominated by one firm.

    FTC and state AGs might benefit from rereading JK Galbraith: "benign Providence...has made the modern industry of a few large firms an excellent instrument for inducing technical change...that there must be some element of monopoly in an industry if it is to be progressive.”

    Good study on automation. Finds: 1) automation increases labor productivity; 2) automation decreases employment in the short run 3) automation increases employment in the long run. So we need more automation.

    So after watching Frontline's show on AI: I have one insight: technologists shouldn't comment on economic issues. No, AI will not lead to joblessness. No, more investment does not change the capital-labor ratio. No, rise of inequality didn't come from technology.

    Wait, I thought that the trade deficit was a function of savings. Keynes doesn't seem to think so. What was the gold standard then is the US reserve currency today. The former hurt British industry; the latter US industry.
