100 Years of 100 Things is part of WNYC’s centennial celebration. Each week, host Brian Lehrer will take listeners through a century’s worth of history of things that shape our politics, our lives and our world.
In this episode Brad DeLong reviews the past century of work and the technology and other trends that affected employment. DeLong is an economic historian, professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley, former deputy assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury under President Clinton, and the author of "Slouching Towards Utopia: An Economic History of the Long 20th Century, 1870-2010" (Basic Books, 2022).
