Can lessons from restaurants improve hospitals?
I knew that standard 40-hour workweeks - in addition to being good for worker productivity - were a right that was fought for and won by unions. I didn't know that it was acceded to by business leaders because it's also good for business.
Why remote workers are more engaged. (Probably only applies to white-collar office work.)
A new 65-year study concludes that tax cuts don't lead to economic growth. (Approximately. There's more to it than that. But the largest effect of lower high-tier tax rates is, perhaps unsurprisingly, "greater income inequality".)
On the state of the middle class.
