Blanchard (2012)
The Covid-19 pandemic in the US has led to volumes of initial claims for unemployment and unemployment rates not seen since the Great Depression period, pushing the economy into a recession. As policymakers map out potential recovery paths, much of the debate tends to focus on short-run and medium-run implications. Can we hope for a ‘V-shaped’ rebound, at least once vaccines have been widely distributed, or will it take a long time between economic decline and subsequent recovery akin to a ‘U-shaped’ rebound or worse (Baldwin and di Mauro 2020, An and Loungani 2020)?

Decades of research have produced profound insights into how student learning and motivation can be unleashed and it’s not through technology or even the best of lectures.
In Super Courses, education expert and bestselling author Ken Bain tells the fascinating story of enterprising college, graduate school, and high school teachers who are using evidence-based approaches to spark deeper levels of learning, critical thinking, and creativity whether teaching online, in class, or in the field, says a review on the Princeton University Press website.
Visiting schools across the United States as well as in China and Singapore, Bain, working with his longtime collaborator, Marsha Marshall Bain, uncovers super courses throughout the humanities and sciences.

In the aftermath of the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, political philosophers extended, developed, and reshaped liberalism as they responded to challenges and alternatives on the left and right from the New International Economic Order to the rise of the New Right.
