Description
Automation and the Future of Work by Aaron Benanav A groundbreaking analysis of automation technologies and their impact on workplaces and the labor market. This book explores the economic trends that will shape our working lives in the future, challenging common assumptions about the rise of technological automation. Benanav examines the weaknesses of twenty-first-century capitalism and offers a counterproposal to the idea of a permanent universal basic income. He also salvages from automation discourse its utopian content: the positive vision of a world without work. The book asks what social movements are required to propel us into post-scarcity if technological innovation alone cannot deliver it. Hardcover, 160 pages.
