Great Depression 2020? (Part 2)

CaseInterview.com

In a previous article, I shared a little history about the Great Depression of the 1930s and explained why the causes of the depression back then would be unlikely to repeat today.

Book review: "Steady Work," by Karen Gaudet

Markovitz Consulting

I really didn’t want to read this book. Yet another deathly dry, turgid, tedious book about lean is not what I need right now. My bookshelves are filled with lean books that provide all the enlightenment of a one-watt bulb. So Steady Work sat on my shelf for a few weeks while I looked for pretty much anything else to do—shopping for toilet paper, learning to make sourdough starter, watching Zoom videos on proper handwashing.
