Last week, in his introductory video, Professor Kochan introduced the “Personal Development Corner,” which will be a section of the course focused on education, professional development, and career planning.
In this week’s video, Professor Kochan talks about the importance of early childhood education. Research suggests that early education is very important, but, unfortunately, not enough young people receive it!

Here, we explore how other countries have approached the social contract at work, both historically and currently, through different institutions and policies.

There are conspicuous challenges for today’s economy but, in some ways, we’ve actually been here before! As we stressed last week, it helps to take a historical perspective in order to understand the current state of the economy and the challenges that we collectively face. In the video below, Professor Kochan examines a series of historical events, including rising wealth inequality in the 1920s and the Great Depression, that remain highly relevant today.

He elaborates on this history, and what it means for our future, in the video below.
