From Dean Baker When a football team keeps losing, the cry usually goes out for a new coach, or at least a new quarterback. Alternatively, there is the Trump route: Get a new scorekeeper. That is apparently the story, with Trump reportedly looking to overhaul the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the statistical agency thattells us how many jobs we create each month. It also tells us the unemployment rate and the inflation rate.

"Rob Kall's book, Bottom-Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution has really caused me to relook and reframe many of my thoughts on where our connectedness using social media tools like LinkedIn is headed, and not just for career trajectory but for life. If you are looking for a new perspective on our sometimes zany digital world we live in, this book will keep you reading and may ultimately revise but for sure challenge your current paradigm."
