In this web exclusive, Vivek Wadhwa explains why America's technology throne is slipping out from under us, thanks to a less-than-ideal immigration policy.

Wadhwa on Immigration

Listen to an excerpt of Brian J. Robertson's Holacracy audiobook, read by the author. 

Holacracy is a revolutionary management system that redefines management and turns everyone into a leader.

Holacracy distributes authority and decision-making throughout an organization, and defines people not by hierarchy and titles, but by roles. Holacracy creates organizations that are fast, agile, and that succeed by pursuing their purpose, not following a dated and artificial plan.

This isn't anarchy - it's quite the opposite. When you start to follow Holacracy, you learn to create new structures and ways of making decisions that empower the people who know the most about the work you do: your frontline colleagues.

Some of the many champions of Holacracy include Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com (author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Delivering Happiness), Evan Williams (co-founder of Blogger, Twitter, and Medium), and David Allen.

The Power of Generic Drugs

Who sings for the unsung masses? Well, here at Innovation Hub, we do. This week, we’ve got stories of everyday people, from the crowds thronging Disneyland to that slow-moving line at the pharmacy. First up, professor Fiery Cushman examines the psychology behind morality, and shows us why our society’s concept of justice isn’t always based on fairness; sometimes it’s just about luck. After that, writer Austin Carr takes us into the world of Disney, and explores the high-tech way that the company is reinventing the happiest place on earth. Then Dr. Jeremy Greene tells us why the generic medicine we’re taking isn’t so generic after all.

Improving Empathy

The Cherokee Freedmen have long been fighting for citizenship in the Cherokee Nation.

President Donald Trump is expected to make an announcement Tuesday on the fate of the  Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Eliminating the program would not only have devastating psychological effects on current DACA recipients and their families, but the potential to negatively affect the US economy, according to various studies.

Why scrapping DACA could cost the US billions

An agreement between neighbors has kept a territorial dispute between the US and Canada at bay for nearly 30 years. But as shipping traffic increases, some worry it's leaving the arctic open to catastrophe.

Who controls the Northwest Passage? It's up for debate.

Reaction to the Trump administration decision to rescind DACA, the program that protects hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants. Plus, the debate over a statue in New York with links to slavery. And a campaign to get women in rural India to shout their husbands' names.

Julio Ramos just started medical school, but unless Congress passes laws to protect undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children, it’s unclear if he can finish his training. Or pay back the student loans he’s already taken out.

DACA recipients won’t go back into the shadows quietly
