SUMMARY:Social and economic mobility in an era of extreme inequality\;
  Who owns the robots?\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, Tim Smeeding
 \, UW LaFollette School of Public Affairs and Economics
DESCRIPTION:Americans used to believe that we lived in a land of oppor
 tunity with a good chance for everyone and their children to do well. 
 But America is near the bottom of nations where everyone has fair chan
 ce of reaching the American Dream. This lecture considers mobility at 
 the bottom\, top and middle of the distribution\, both over time and a
 cross generations in a nation where capital income (who owns the robot
 s) dominates labor income\, where public policy increases extreme ineq
 uality and where the future of work is increasingly dim for those with
 out a college education and without good opportunities to make use of 
 that investment.
