SUMMERS, CHAPTERS Harvard; former US Secretary of the Treasury, former Director of the US National Economic Council, former president of Harvard University, and author “Sandra Navidi’s book $uperHubs is beautifully and effectively done. Not only is it a fascinating description of the power wielded by elite networks over the financial sector, it is also a meditation on the consequences of this system for FULLthe economy TEXT and the society. ON In recentREQUEST times, we have seen extraordinary rup- tures—notably Britain’s vote to break away from the European Union and the intensified sense of exclusion felt by much of America’s working class. The last chapter of $uperHubs proposes that this ruling system›s “monoculture,” its iso- lation from the rest of society, and its seeming unawareness of the fragility of what it has built are largely responsible for these ruptures, and that the system may lead to a major crisis in the future.” —PROFESSOR EDMUND S.

  • Mos Episode Transcript: Sallie Krawcheck REID HOFFMAN
    MoS Episode Transcript: Sallie Krawcheck REID HOFFMAN: When you think of the first computer, maybe you imagine a huge mainframe ​ in a college lab in the 1950s; serious-looking people in white coats feeding in punch cards as the machinery whirs. But the story of computing started much earlier. And it probably looked a bit different than you imagine. STEVEN JOHNSON: In the 1830s Charles Babbage, the British inventor, invented ​ basically a programmable computer that was a hundred years ahead of its time. HOFFMAN: That’s Steven Johnson, host of the podcast “American Innovations”, and author of ​ many books about technology and progress that you should read. Steven’s latest book is called Farsighted: How We Make the Decisions That Matter the Most. As he wrote it, he kept thinking ​ about Babbage and this first computer. JOHNSON: These machines had almost all the key elements of modern computing. ​ They were programmable, they had the sense of a CPU, they had the sense of RAM, the sense of a hard drive-like storage. HOFFMAN: There was just one small problem: this was the 1830s. Scientists hadn’t yet ​ mastered electricity. Babbage’s designs were too complex to be built. But this didn’t stop them from sparking people’s imaginations. And one person they sparked was a mathematician named Ada Lovelace. JOHNSON: Lovelace was a young woman who was a math prodigy at a time when this ​ is very unusual. And she is now widely considered to be the first software programmer. HOFFMAN: Lovelace wrote the first example of what we’d now call “computer code”.
