access to that capital? which they have left foreign direct investment on the table. paying the settlements and having access to global capital market, they have lost a $70 billion to gdp at a time where gdp is already faltering. theis going to contract for first time since 2002. gdp is relatively low, two over 45%. it is going to get worse. gdp will rise as debt levels rise and as gdp falls. if it is not cured, we will put them back on the path to a 1989, 1991-style crisis.

6:31 am
they have blatantly broken the cease-fire, to which they committed. israel is blaming hamas. this is after the 72 hour cease-fire went into effect. >> have we heard anything from john kerry or the united nations,, who are at the forefront of negotiating? >> yes. all of them have signed up to it. we are not hearing any word. phone calls are not frantically going to hamas or the israelis. do not forget, this is not a proper cease-fire. this is meant to be a three-day, temporary humanitarian truce, to allow food and medicine to get gaza,bt the -- to get to
6:32 am
and also to allow breathing space in cairo. >> you have been so good on the fractious nature of hamas. are we speaking to one hamas this morning? >> in terms of the delegation due to go to cairo -- it was hamas and other militant factions. the u.s. and israel consider them terrorist organizations. egypt would be there in the palestinian authority would be there to mediate. we do not have specifics as to who would have provoked the israelis -- as far as the israelis are concerned, that is what happened. do have some headlines from the last 10 minutes or so. tank fire kills at least 27 palestinians in south gaza. this is according to the
6:33 am
associated press. how has the ground or changed? originally, it was to destroy the tunnels. >> israel has been pushing for the demilitarization of gaza. hamas uses to infiltrate israel. i do not think that objective has changed. the forces remain on the ground and the wording of this cease-fire agreement was that israel would not be able to advance beyond its existing positions. it would be able to destroy tunnels behind its lines in ga za. i do not think it has deviated from that initial objective. there are heavy operations to ely, but imas complet do not think that anyone thinks that is an objective. the silence out of the arab world is deafening, according to
6:34 am
the new york times yesterday. is there any sense that israel is cooperating? >> well, overtly, no. not explicitly. we are due to hear from the saudi leaders in the next hour. they have been conspicuous by their silence. the objections -- egyptians have not been silent. the jordanians have been silent. you have the saudi's and to the egyptians and the jordanians on one side. then on the other side, you have the qataris and turkey, who support hamas. not explicitly, but these things are there. we have not heard the usual condemnations of israel united throughout the arab world. >> the silence is deafening.

6:36 am
on the same kinds of things. we got together and thought nsa of this kind might help people to think about it. >> the fear of many and what janet yellen addresses is the slack in the economy. are these americans left behind us permanent losers? >> well, there is hope. it requires significant investment by individuals, by governments, by societies, and getting ready for a very different world of work. t andich service is dominan your ability to deal with value added is knowledge and so on. a combination of robust and 3-d printing will do many of the manual things that we did before. so, we still have people doing manual things. i do not think construction is about to become automated yet. you can, they do say
6:37 am
3-d print most of a building at this stage. >> i will believe it when i see it. spence, you say that people with ideas, rather than workers or investors, will be the scarcest resource. how do i prepare my children to be valuable, productive adults? to get them an ivy league degree? >> that is not a bad start. one of the implications of this is not new. there is a premium on having high-quality education and getting as far up that letter is you can get. d up.oks to be going up an du >> there is more competition from china, from russia, from brazil. >> these are skills that can be traded, if you like. they are services that can be traded. >> i recommend eight weeks of math camp. >> i can understand how that would be the message to your students at nyu.
6:38 am
in the scheme of things, that is a privileged few. what is the message to thousands of americans who are looking at the numbers and do not have a college degree? >> i think we have to help them. , the big challenge is this transition we are in. many americans prepare themselves with society for a world of work that is moving away from them. we have labor markets on equilibrium. their skills on the supply said the do not match with the demand side is asking for. there is no perfect solution for this. for people of all ages, we have to help them close that gap. move toward the demand side of labor. >> it is regression july. this is the first day of august. we're really talking about returns to scale. traditional ways to measure efficiency within the economy. you three academics come over to
6:39 am
the power level. explain the power law and what that means to our viewers. >> power law distributions are basically fat tail distributions. the traditional bell curve has narrow tails. >> if you make most of the gains. >> exactly. a few make most of the gains. the extreme version is winner take all. >> a lot of people that we interview and a lot of what we read -- is that how a lot of americans feel? it is a society of winner take all. should we change that approach? >> i think it is a misperception. winner take all is a misperception. it is true that you will get a facebook or a twitter or a google or something. a few people will get very rich. then there is a whole bunch of other activity, writing apps for
6:40 am
things. a multiplier effect. it is pretty well documented by people who study these things in some detail. >> how does that fit in with extreme competition? this is something that josh roger has written about. i know that you mentioned this as well. >> i will not implicate eric in what i am about to say. i think that the real rock stars, whether in entertainment, on,ts, technology, and so are always going to be there and deserve what they have and so on. ceo's and higher-level management compensation is a different story. they are not all rock stars. we are a country where the difference between what they are paid and what the people in the middle and bottom are paid is very high. i do not think we necessarily want to continue doing that. >> michael spence, nobel
6:41 am
laureate, professor of economics at nyu cool of business, and graham fisher as well. our trigger question is a good one. >> we have intellectual questions. what do we do with the money? are you buying after yesterday's sell-off? stocks open today -- futures down 100 points. futures down too. we will be back with josh and the nobel laureate. ♪

what does washington get wrong in looking at wall street? there was anow, tremendous blunder if you look at the prices. washington allowed risks to build up in the financial sector in portions that were unregulated. we did not enforce the regulations that we had. i think that was the most important blunder. we are still paying the price. >> is washington still paying the price for how people feel? >> i would not say that. market that the stock has improved mostly because the economy has improved. companies have been very profitable. lower interest rates will probably help in that environment. fundamentally, we have seen improvement. >> chris, as you know, i am a huge fan of your trend based work. where is the trend most attractive right now? >> what we will see as large

7:18 am
>> good morning everyone. it is job state could we have news from israel. >> the fighting has erupted again in gaza. the cease-fire was announced last night. it is over now. hours after it began. minutes, we have headlines that an israeli soldier has been abducted. the army of israel has confirmed this. we went to get more context from
7:19 am
elliott in tel aviv. tell us makes --help us make sense of these headlines. is there a connection with the broken down cease-fire? >> i think so. this suspected kidnapping must've happened around two hours into the cease-fire. there was heavy shelling into israel. this came after a mortar was fired from gaza to israel that seemed to not do any damage. then, israel started pummeling quite heavily. the health minister in gaza is suggesting that there could be scores of people killed as a result. it seems now that perhaps the reason that israel was hitting the area so hard was a desperate bid to try to recover this soldier who was kidnapped after their soldiers came under attack after the cease-fire had already begun. >> do we have any detail as to
7:20 am
how he was abducted? was this hamas going through the tunnels, overthrew israel? or was it hamas grabbing someone who was already in gaza? >> this was inside the gaza strip. how the soldier was abducted -- report suggested that he would've been abducted around where the israelis were close to a tunnel. of course, if he was taken into hard.el, it will be very extensiveonducting searches in southern gaza in order to find a missing i. d.f. soldier. there will be a lot of fears that if a soldier has been kidnapped, it could be a repeat of what happened with the soldier who was kidnapped inside israel in 2006, held in captivity for five years, until he was eventually freed in
7:21 am
exchange for the release of more than 1000 palestinian prisoners. >> what is the path forward on friday and into the weekend? >> there's only one path where immediateead in the term and that is backward, not forward. you cannot see an israeli delegation sitting around the table. they consider hamas a terrorist organization. you cannot imagine them going to cairo to discuss a more permanent cease-fire when one of its soldiers is being held in captivity by hamas. there's only one way that this will go. for the next few hours, that is backwards, more fighting. >> stay with us. we have alan krueger from princeton, who has been wonderfully varied in his economics. he wrote a book cover to cover. what makes a terrorist? we looklook at hamas,
7:22 am
at them as a terrorist organization. comment on the mindset of terrorism. >> terrorism is a political act. it is an act of political violence. hamas is clearly a terrorist organization. they're not desperately poor. their people who want to bring about political change in any responsible way. message in your book is that this was an upscale event. it is a middle-class and affluent world that was part of the time of al qaeda. can economic programs and policy change behavior in gaza? >> there is a limit to what can be done with economic policy. ultimately, we need to bring about a political solution. if you look through the history of terrorism, it is not only in the middle east. that has been the case throughout history. >> elliott, when previous
7:23 am
cease-fires have collapsed, as this one appears to have, rockets had begun flying immediately. what is it like in the skies of tel aviv? >> there have not been any rockets fired. if i take out my red alarm, which goes out whenever there's a siren, i can see that one was about 25 minutes ago. that was about eight kilometers north of gaza. velocityy event, the or frequency of rocket fire has been diminishing. certainly they are still flying. indeed, this is arguably the first sign of the cease-fire not holding, when it was fired about two hours in. it looks like this is really soldier who was abducted was taken when forces inside of gaza came under fire. so, that seems to be the situation now.
7:24 am
israel will take very seriously one of their men who has been kidnapped. you can see this escalating even further. >> very briefly, before we go -- netansolve of benjamin yahu -- harder now? >> it is hard to see him getting any softer. nevermind that they have been a gang him on to take a tougher line to begin with. this is the worst possible scenario for israel, just having a soldier kidnapped. he would have probably been a reservist. he is probably a normal person working a normal life, called up due to this conflict. if you look at the age of the israeli soldiers who have been killed, they're all in their 20's. that is very probably a young man. it will be a devastating blow to israel and no doubt celebrated by hamas as a significant gain. >> all right.

7:29 am
other industries. save small business america. even as a recovering indust ry, the 17 million units annually -- you're thinking about this. both of you served with the president. what does that attitude get wrong about the detroit bailout? >> we're looking back and seeing what we got wrong. the auto bailout has been far more successful than we anticipated. it has been successful for a number of reasons. been thriving under their leadership and merger with fiat. the overall production has been raised by autos. for more than a quarter of the bounceback. if you look at other industries, it is positive. these suppliers are often small companies, so they benefit. >> the multiplier effect is the heart of this discussion. >> there's also the reverse
7:30 am
multiplier. had they allowed the collapse, the supply chain could have been dragged down with it. we would have had a weaker recovery. >> we hear about this from princeton, new jersey. the founding fathers read john locke -- each on their own. it is different from germany. >> you have to do things it you would not otherwise do in the midst of a crisis. a lot more innocent people get hurt it one of the difficult lessons we are drawing is, when is it appropriate for the government to step in? this was so successful, maybe future government will be more activist. >> then they will be too acti vist. interesting. republican or democrat? >> either case. it is important to know why this works so well. there were a whole bunch of conditions. for example, vix financing was
7:31 am
dysfunctional. financing could have been much worse, with much more pain. maybe that will not be the case the future. americanlieve in manufacturing renaissance? >> we are seeing a bounceback. there is no reason we cannot compete around the world. there is a limit to how many jobs in manufacturing can provide. the future of the american workforce is in manufacturing. gaining jobs is better than losing. >> the debate of the moment with immigration is mass failure by republicans in the house -- are we still losing jobs? is the immigration of people coming in threatening american jobs? >> i don't think so. on net, immigration is very positive for the u.s. economy. look no farther than the congressional budget office report. immigration raises economic growth. it reduces the deficit.
7:32 am
you cannot get more of a win w in situation. >> i are we struggling? >> it is a great failure of our politics. there is no better low hanging fruit and immigration. >> one final question. do we still look at the auto industry is detroit? i am having trouble with this. it really is not detroit. >> first of all, it is global. it is north american. you also have the transplant, in ohio, etc. it is a global industry today. >> alan krueger. we need to go to breaking news. >> and m&a. sgms is buying bally technologies. pay $83.30 per share in cash.

slotntific games is a machine company. >> that has been the trend. in the bigger sense, mergers right now -- if you analyze the amount, it is 30% higher than last year. it is oval last year and 30% higher than 2006 with the all-time high. >> 2.6 trillion dollars in deals announced all of the world. it is up 70% from the same time one year ago. it. latest one just adds to in terms of futures, we had seen this big, sharp selloff earlier. it seems to have stabilized a little bit here. >> dow futures are only down 84 points. when we got here, they were flat. there has been an excel a ration. let's do a data check. s&p is down.

7:36 am
new. >> i understand how people can go to your website and figure out where the jobs are. how realistic is it to think that people can necessarily pick up and move on the hopes of getting a job somewhere else? what is your dice to people looking in that scenario? >> no doubt, mobility is an issue. we are seeing increasing. the amount of people that we are recruiting who are willing to move, because they have more faith in the economy and are not upside down and their house, is improving. mobility is an issue. particularly with this spotty market. there are still jobs in north dakota. >> what about mobility two countries abroad? if i am a young, highly educated college graduate with stem skills and a willingness to move abroad, where should i be looking? >> it is a great question. china, the amount of research
7:37 am
and development happening in china is a age difference in the global economy. clearly, china is part of that. we are seeing someplace in europe for the u.k. is now doing a lot better. we are seeing some of this movement. we were talking about this two years ago, maybe moving to kiev. probably not in the picture now. there are hotspots in technology. china is one of them. >> let's bring in alan krueger from the president's council of economic advisers. question for somebody in the real world. >> tom and i were talking about the revival of manufacturing. one of the problems is workers are hired three temp company. are you placing many people in manufacturing? >> is a great question. when we look at our book of ness, probably on average of 85 to 90 people are out every day on long-term
7:38 am
assignments. you would probably find 40 or 50% of those would be in manufacturing. those are 50,000 jobs, just from our company alone. clearly, manufacturing and the amount of employment is distorted by the right as a service company. reshoring ofny industrial jobs from china back to the u.s.? >> there clearly is. we have been working with lots of companies doing it. the real issue is that these are smaller companies. you talk about the tesla people. we are not seeing those kinds of plants be put in. we're seeing people from the west coast go to penang and now back to the u.s., but the difference is they are coming back with 150 jobs because they have gotten sufficient. >> thank you for joining us. headlines from
