Ambassador Earl Anthony Wayne
on
Trade, the Workforce, and the Economy

Manufacturing jobs are declining in  the US.  What is the cause of this?
Is it also happening in other developed countries like Germany, France,
Great Britain, etc.? Is the answer to pull out of our trade agreements?
This episode features an interview with Earl Anthony Wayne,
a WAC Inland Southern California speaker in June of 2018.
  Ambassador Wayne discusses the economic impact of trade
agreements, the need for employers to provide worker training, and the importance of North American regional cooperation.
His explanations are clear and compelling.

Network revolutions of the past have shaped the present and set the stage for the revolution we are experiencing today. In this fascinating book, former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler puts past revolutions into the perspective of today, when rapid-fire changes in networking are upending the nature of work, personal privacy, education, the media, and nearly every other aspect of modern life. Outlining “What’s Next,” he describes how artificial intelligence, virtual reality, blockchain, and the need for cybersecurity are laying the foundation for a third network revolution.

The history and meaning of the Berlin Wall remain controversial, even three decades after its fall. Drawing on an extensive range of archival sources and interviews, this book profiles key memory activists who have fought to commemorate the history of the Berlin Wall and examines their role in the creation of a new German national narrative. With victims, perpetrators and heroes, the Berlin Wall has joined the Holocaust as an essential part of German collective memory and national identity.
