The Steady Normalization of the U.S. Labor Market
from Notes on the Week Ahead · host Dr. David Kelly
In 1787, on the last day of the Constitutional Convention, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin what form of government had been agreed to. He famously replied, “A Republic – if you can keep it”. He was, of course, alluding to the danger that partisanship or ill-advised policies could yet return the young country to the monarchy it had so recently escaped.
