Technology Revolutionizes Life But Not Incomes

Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson are the authors of the new book "Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle Over Technology and Prosperity." We discuss how history shows (through evidence) that progress depends on the choices we make about technology. Plus, a movie about a doll got a Texas senator and a Tennessee representative upset.
