A critical examination of automation, high technology and the changing nature of work, arguing that the promised knowledge economy may instead produce widespread displacement and a diminished role for paid employment.
Aronowitz and DiFazio examine technological change, labour, unemployment and social policy, and propose alternatives to traditional full-employment thinking, including shorter working hours without reduced pay.
