Welcome back to the Ten Blocks Podcast. This is your host, Brian Anderson, editor of City Journal.

First off, we'd like to take a moment to thank all of you for tuning in. Since we launched

the podcast a couple of years ago, the feedback has been tremendous, and we thank all of you

for your interest and support. We've made a few changes we think you'll appreciate. We've got a

snazier musical intro,

and henceforth we'll be posting episodes more frequently. Coming up on this latest podcast,

we have an exceptional show for listeners. Last year, City Journal published a special issue

called The Shape of Work to Come. It featured articles on the great American domestic crisis of our time,

long-term joblessness. It's a topic that many of our writers are thinking about and will continue

to revisit it going forward. Last week, City Journal hosted a panel discussion in New York

City with some of our own writers and other experts thinking about the future of work,

and you'll be able to listen to that on this 10 blocks.

On the panel, we had Edward Glazer, Harvard Professor, Manhattan Institute,

fellow and contributing editor here at City Journal and author of the great book on urbanism, The Triumph of the City.

Then there's Kay Heimowitz, also a long-time contributing

editor to City Journal and fellow at the Manhattan Institute, and author, most recently, of

the New Brooklyn. Then we had Ryan Avent. He's a senior editor and the free exchange columnist

at The Economist. But the next voice you'll hear on the podcast is Steve Levine,

future editor of Axios, who moderated the discussion.

We hope you enjoy.

Thank you. Good morning. Thanks very much for joining us here. It's a fantastic panel. I'm really looking forward to the discussion this morning to digging in. We're in the midst of a debate about the future of work, the underlying forces that are creating a crisis

of stagnant wages and an uncertainty about jobs in the future.
