First of all, thanks for everyone who hung in with RealityChek this past week while I was away. And to any newcomers. I’ll be back with a new substantive post tomorrow, but I wanted to take the opportunity to draw three recent developments to your attention.

Item one – on March 27, The National Interest published on its website this piece of mine on the likely winner of a US-China trade war.

Item two – on March 26, Gordon G. Chang quoted my views on this subject in a post on TheDailyBeast.com, Here’s the link.

And last but not least – on March 23, I was privileged to serve as the moderator of a fascinating seminar given at the Henry George School in New York City on a subject of major concern to everyone who works for a living – or knows someone who does:  Will this current wave of automation be the first to be a net job-killer? The speaker, Washington, DC-based technology and economic consultant Robin Gaster offers genuinely profound insights you won’t want to miss, and you can watch at this link.

And as always, keep checking in with RealityChek for news of upcoming media appearances and other developments.

I’m pleased to announce that I will be speaking next week in Washington, D.C. at a briefing on President Obama’s proposed new trade deals being sponsored by U.S. Representatives Marcy Kaptur of Ohio and John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan.  The briefing will be held Tues., March 3 between noon and 1 in Rm. 2456 of the Rayburn House Office Building.  And it’s open to all media and the general public, as well as Members of Congress and their staffs.  Appearing with me will be economist Robert Scott of the Economic Policy Institute.

Accredited journalists seeking more information can contact Jenny Perrino of Rep. Kaptur’s staff at 202-225-4146 or at jenny.perrino@mail.house.gov.

In addition, it’s an honor to have just been elected to the Board of Trustees of the Henry George School of Social Science in New York City.  The School is planning to expand greatly its educational and research programs on domestic and international economics, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to help out. Keep visiting RealityChek for more details on the School’s activities they develop.

Finally, it was great to see my research on America’s dangerously high trade deficits cited on the popular investing website Seeking Alpha.
