As part of our Social Science Series, author and economist Jack Buffington breaks down how we as consumers have transformed and can change the future of our economy.

Jack's current research is focused on manufacturing and the U.S. economy, the state of the U.S. economy and what's next, and consumer behavior and its impact on the U.S. economy.
