STEM denial

Conventional wisdom says that the U.S. is falling behind in educating for the science and engineering careers.  But there always seems to be a different point of view.

A Harvard senior research associate (good credentials) goes against the conventional wisdom in this case.  He's written a book about it from the viewpoint of a jobs expert, Falling Behind?  Boom, Bust and the Global Race for Scientific Talent.  He claims that America has no shortage of scientists and engineers.

It's gotten harder to discern whether any kind of conventional wisdom is true.  The question is which expert to listen to.
