What do the best projections tell us about growth, employment, and sources of economic innovation over the next one to two decades—and what public policies can spur improved outcomes for all Americans? The Network commissioned four scholars and policy experts to present findings and debate policies—at a public event to be held at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. This event was co-sponsored by Harvard's Center for American Political Studies.
