Invite: Thur, Oct 25th - New Paper, Discussion of Middle Class Incomes, Wages w/Rob Shapiro, Ed Luce

On Thursday, Oct 25th please join NDN/NPI for a lunchtime discussion of a new paper on the American economy by the Chair of NDN's Globalization Initiative, Dr. Rob Shapiro. 

Using recently released data from the US government, the paper takes a fresh look at the income gains of Americans across four decades, and shows that the lives of most American improved fairly steadily from the 1970s until the last decade – when income progress for most people simply stopped. 

The Financial Times' Chief US Commentator, Edward Luce, author of the critically acclaimed book, Time to Start Thinking: America in the Age of Descentwill join Rob on stage as a respondent.

Lunch will be served at noon, and the program will begin at 1215pm.  The lunchtime discussion will take place at NDN's event space, just a block from the Whte House, 729 15th Street, NW, Washington, DC. 

Please RSVP here, and we look forward to seeing you Thursday!
