The latest book by MIT Professor Yossi Sheffi on global supply chains is an exploration of one of the most critical and complex systems of our modern economy. In The Magic Conveyor Belt, Professor Sheffi examines how supply chains have been affected by the societal and economic shocks of the early 2020s, demystifying their murky depths, twists, and turns. He also illustrates how supply chains actually worked well during the pandemic, why technology alone is not enough (despite being the key to sustainability), and how human and A.I. collaboration is the future.

As the Biden administration shows with its action to hike tariffs on electric vehicles (EVs) imported from China, political expediency is more important to it than building a sustainable future. This stands in stark contrast to its rhetoric on global warming.

Professor Yossi Sheffi goes on live TV to discuss the deadly collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, hit Tuesday March 26 by a container ship, could have major economic consequences.
