Who will you meet on June 5?

Bengt Holmström

Sir Christopher A. Pissarides
Automation is nothing new, but Pissarides says that this time will be different because acquiring the skills required for the automation of tomorrow is a much bigger challenge. This means we need not only economic integration, but political integration too.
