内容説明
This book investigates the question
as to whether technological developments will ultimately mean the end of work
and, if so, what the consequences will be. The author addresses this question
from the perspective of a technologist well versed in econometrics and game
theory, and argues that it is not technology alone that could lead to the end
of work, but its utilization by the capitalist system. Technology allows us to
minimize the costs of work and increase profits, while the system is worsening
unemployment, socio-economic inequality and stratification - which could lead to
the end of capitalism in a massive global revolution.
As
such, the book proposes an evolutionary reform based on a seemingly minor but
in fact essential correction of the corporate income tax, which he proposes
should decrease in accordance with the percentage of the enterprise's revenues
expended to pay employee salaries. In this way, entrepreneurs will be motivated
to implement new professions and occupations, as well as new workplaces. Only
in this way, the book argues, can reforms be used to prevent the end of work,
which would have catastrophic consequences.
