On Tuesday, 45,000 dockworkers went on strike for the first time in decades, impacting 36 U.S. ports from Maine to Texas. This strike highlights a growing tension between technological innovation and job security, a conflict that will likely affect us all. At the core of this issue lies a fundamental question: How can we embrace innovation without sacrificing workers’ livelihoods?

Today, we explore the role of innovation in economic growth, the fears associated with job displacement, and the responsibilities of government and corporations in creating an environment that welcomes disruption while protecting workers.

Today, I want to explore a topic that often goes unnoticed: how language can be used to exclude people from "being in the room." This is why I'm so passionate about teaching my students the language of professionalism and economics—it's the driving force behind this newsletter and our podcast.
