>> there are good biographies of people like robert smalls and they are all on the footnotes and quite often there are dissertations that have been published and is so they are very good they are just kind of flying under the radar but they are not well known. if you go to -- this bookstore website for example robert smalls and you can find books like henry white. certainly the textbooks are getting better in the reconstruction, and again it isn't fair to pick on the textbooks in the 1970s. one doesn't want to know what is in the current textbook because of course it's kind of rewriting your own standards. part of it is popular memory and culture and the last part of the book talks about gone with the wind where they try to write the early 20th century call troll bore and that is kind of a classic image people have theirs a scene in gone with the wind there is a carpetbagger and a black activist sitting in a carriage and at least they are allowed to kind of your dress with dignity but they are dressed in this outlandish way and what i found interesting as my students have almost never

small tech startup firms get a lot of publicity and make a lot of money for a very few people. but as robert, former labor secretary, points of this week, they are not doing a lot for the overall economy. facebook shows up in the middle of the s&p 500 with a huge market cap now. look at the difference between them and the other companies around the entrance of the number of employees could only 6000 employees. there is not wealth there to spread. facebook is the poster child. this is not just whatsapp or facebook. it is tech in general. job growth in tech is very anemic. over the past year, only a few thousand jobs created in the united states. not like the old days when you can go into a manufacturing job and get a new -- a middle-class life. companies do what they do with a lot of programmers, but not an army of assemblers. that is an issue for the economy going forward. >> but they make life possibly a lot easier. it is a lot easier for you to send messages to dennis kennedy good for the economy. -- a lot easier for you to send messages to it that has got to be good for the economy. morea

robert, what do you think? you think it is just kind of an anemic economy right now, right? >> i do. we're in a slow growth recovery phase and i think the weather may have had a small impact. obviously when you have the highways shut down in atlanta, people can't get to work, can't do any hiring. there is some issues with the snow, obviously that's going to create a problem for people to get to work, to do some hiring. but you know, we would have seen the numbers really play out in construction. we didn't see that. so i think it's really a reflection that we're in a slow growth recovery. businesses are not confident enough to do the hiring that they need. i think it has a lot of impact, indication that the money is sitting overseas, offshore, and has to come back to the united states. then we will really see some hiring. >> let's look at something else that's affecting this market right now. stay there, guys. we want to get your reaction to some news about outflows of exchange traded funds. seema mody has that. >> huge outflows from emerging markets etfs and mutual funds last week and here is the story. the data at least. emerging market equity funds have seen outf
