  • 612. Is Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade Its Most Valuable Asset?
    2024/11/21

    The 166-year-old chain, which is fighting extinction, calls the parade its “gift to the nation.” With 30 million TV viewers, it’s also a big moneymaker. At least we think it is — Macy’s is famously tight-lipped about parade economics. We try to loosen them up. (Part one of a two-part series.)

  • How to Stop Worrying and Love the Robot Apocalypse (Update)
    2024/11/18

    It’s true that robots (and other smart technologies) will kill many jobs. It may also be true that newer collaborative robots (“cobots”) will totally reinvigorate how work gets done. That, at least, is what the economists are telling us. Should we believe them?
