Americans Work Too Damn Much

Americans Work Too Damn Much

Thinkers like John Maynard Keynes used to say that we would soon have more free time than we knew what to do with. Instead, we find ourselves working longer hours than ever. (Unsplash) It wasn’t supposed to be like this, according to John Maynard Keynes. In 1930, the economist predicted that his grandchildren would be working fifteen-hour workweeks. Technology would have advanced to the point two generations after his own that workers’ average time on the job would be a fraction of what it once was. We would all be struggling to figure out what to do with so […]

Increasing the Tax Burden on Capital Investment and Automation Hurts Workers

Increasing the Tax Burden on Capital Investment and Automation Hurts Workers

Over the past half decade, there has been an ongoing debate about how automation and the use of robots in the workplace has impacted workers’ wages and employment. Recently, economists Andrea Manera and Daron Acemoglu of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Pascual Restrepo of Boston University examined whether tax policy favors certain forms of automation that puts workers at a competitive disadvantage.

In their latest report , Manera and her coauthors argue that differences in the tax treatment between labor and capital encourage firms to automate, reducing full-time employment without corresponding productivity increases. They encourage policymakers to consider […]

Robots will put people out of work – and hope

A recent global news story highlighted a three-year partnership between Fieldwork Robotics and French canned vegetable producer Bonduelle to develop a cauliflower-picking robot. Bonduelle operates across more than 100 countries, while Fieldwork Robotics was cofounded by Martin Stoelen, a lecturer in robotics at the University of Plymouth.

Fieldwork Robotics has already collaborated with one of the United Kingdom’s biggest soft-fruit producers, Hall Hunter Partnership, to develop a raspberry-harvesting robot.

If you type “vegetable harvesting robot” or “fruit harvesting robot” into a search engine, you will discover that Fieldwork Robotics is no mere anomaly. From Japan to Spain, inventors are ploughing the […]

Trump’s Wild Claims Test Limits of Republican Loyalty

Trump’s Wild Claims Test Limits of Republican Loyalty

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s wild and unsupported claims of voter fraud have emerged as a high-stakes Republican loyalty test that illustrates the tug of war likely to define the future of the GOP whether he wins or loses.

There is a pervasive sense among current and former GOP officials that the president’s behavior is irresponsible if not dangerous, but a divide has emerged between those influential Republicans willing to call him out publicly and those who aren’t.

Driving their calculus is an open acknowledgment that Trump’s better-than-expected showing on Election Day ensures that he will remain the Republican Party’s […]

Science fiction like The Terminator franchise has created the enduring meme of malevolent robots overthrowing humanity. The notion that we’d actually pay for them to replace us is so far-fetched that even Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn’t imagined it. But the government has.

Through the US tax code, we’ve inched ever closer to Andrew Yang’s dreaded Robocalypse of automation sweeping the workplace, according to a recent paper cowritten by BU economist […]

If you’re looking for a new career, your tech hobbies may well point the way to the specialties you might want to explore. But, a word of warning, once you turn a hobby into work, it’s somehow less fun than it once was.
