But as David Autor, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, points out in a new paper on labour market polarisation, fading union power has been more the effect than the cause of occupational shifts.
In a recent paper, Bradford Cornell, of California Institute of Technology, and James Rutten, of Munger, Tolles and Olson, a Los Angeles law firm, argue that even highly developed financial markets such as the New York Stock Exchange are not efficient enough to allow courts to use declines in share prices to calculate the financial damage caused by a fraud.
ECONOMIST: The efficient markets hypothesis can land you in jail
But a paper in this week's Nature suggests that the technology for indulging in it has not changed much over the years, either.
Like all of us, she has humorous idiosyncrasies (leading a technology firm while still using a pen and paper notebook), she has felt like a failure (divorce at a young age) and success has not always come easily (arriving at Harvard feeling woefully unprepared relative to her peers).
