Hello Brad

Given the conclusions of Autor Dorn Hansen, what do you think we can do for these unemployed workers?

I personally worry relocation could have unexpected results. Namely, moving people out of manufacturing regions away from their family could have adverse consequences (more expensive child care etc.). I also worry that job training might not work?

Do you have any solutions? Are there any tweaks you'd like to see to TAA (trade adjustment assistance)?

Mainstream economics focuses on itself and learning things.

Austrian economics focuses on misleading laymen on the internet.

They're pretty close though. If you throw in progressive taxation on a UBI, you get a negative income tax.
