Mitchell Stevens recently spoke with Julian Alssid and Kaitlin LeMoine about the future of work and learning for the Work Forces podcast. It's a great listen around the need to transition from a schooled society that centers early-life classroom experiences and academic credentials, to a learning society that recognizes human talent grows everywhere across the entire arc of lengthening lives.

The threat of artificial intelligence doesn’t only present a job crisis. It creates an education challenge. The problem isn’t that people can’t work. It’s that we haven’t built systems to help them continue learning and connect them to new opportunities as the world changes rapidly.

To support human prosperity in the next decade and beyond, we need bold institutional experiments. In this op-ed, Yale Law School professor John Fabian Witt argues that America can overcome its current democratic crisis by learning from the 1920s, when civil society institutions and philanthropy responded to eerily similar conditions as today with transformative new models of economic organization like industrial unions and civil rights movements that ultimately led to the New Deal and civil rights era.
