A world without work : technology, automation and how we should respond

Susskind, Daniel2020
Books, Manuscripts
From mechanical looms to combustion engines to early computers, new technologies have always provoked panic about workers being replaced by machines. In the past, such fears have been misplaced, and many economists maintain that they remain so today. Yet in 'A World Without Work', Daniel Susskind shows why this time really is different. So how can we all thrive in a world with less work? Susskind reminds us that technological progress could bring about unprecedented prosperity, solving one of mankind's oldest problems: making sure that everyone has enough to live on.
