Today Allison Schrager, Bloomberg Millennials spent their early adulthood dogged by two large recessions, rising housing prices and exploding student debt. It's no wonder they're less likely, even as they approach 40, to have many of the traditional trappings of adulthood, including marriage and homeownership.

David Audretsch, RCM It's no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic devastated small businesses and that elected officials have tried mightily to help. For the first time in our history, the federal government delivered hundreds of billions of dollars directly to small businesses in their time of desperate need. This was a critically important tourniquet when the patient was bleeding out. But now Congress is poised to tear open the wounds with new digital economy policies that will undercut the recovery and leave small businesses less prepared for the next crisis. |
