Automation Will Crash Democracy. A Debate
Description
With automation poised to displace workers in the fields of medicine, agriculture, and beyond, technology will likely disrupt labor patterns around the world. As people lose their jobs to robots, some argue, the gap between rich and poor will widen, distrust in government and democratic institutions will grow, and dangerous, authoritarian ideas will spread. But others argue that technology has disrupted work patterns for centuries. The advent of steam power, electricity, and computers all transformed society, they note, yet amid such changes, they contend, the economy and political discourse adapted and thrived. But is this time different? Will automation crash democracy?
