Robot Tax: Tax on Replacing Human Jobs with Automation The National Law Review

President Obama said: the next wave of economic dislocation would come from automation making good middle-class jobs obsolete. Bill de Blasio, mayor of …

Automation can perform both routine physical activities as well as cognitive capabilities. This capability development has made policymakers and the public nervous about the impact on workers and their wages. In Ted Claypoole’s post Stacking The Deck For Workers Over Machines, he acknowledges that there is a partisan divide on the direction of finger pointing pertaining to the reduction of certain jobs in our […]

Here come the robots: We can prepare for the future without fearing the future

Andrew Yang had his best policy moment of the Democratic debates last night when he said, “This country has been a magnet for human capital for generations. If we lose that, we lose something integral to our continued success.” Yang should talk more about immigration. And more about thorium-fueled nuclear reactors. Maybe also flesh out his VAT idea .

But Yang’s main idea, a universal basic income (UBI), is less appealing. It’s an elegant idea that would quickly look less so when filtered through the reality of government sausage-making and flawed human behavior . Then there’s Yang’s alarmist argument that […]

Beto O’Rourke’s Labor Plan is As Anti-Growth as it Gets

Beto O’Rourke’s Labor Plan is As Anti-Growth as it Gets

Beto O’Rourke recently unveiled his labor plan which consists of a $15 minimum wage and measures to increase compulsory unionization. The former El Paso congressman believes that no one in America should be living below the poverty line, hence his support for a $15 minimum wage. Similarly, O’Rourke contends that such a wage increase would boost worker productivity. The $15 minimum wage is in vogue among leftist elites, with states like California and Washington leading the way.

In addition, O’Rourke laments the decline of labor unions in America. He believes that their declining membership is the reason behind stagnating worker […]

Automation will create jobs, if we get it right

Automation will create jobs, if we get it right

Read Mia Andric’s comments here…

These days, automation is all the rage. Companies are using AI and robotics to automate every possible task to create greater efficiencies and profits, leading to heated debates about the roles humans will play in business in the future.

On the one hand, there is the logical argument that as AI takes over mundane and repetitive tasks, there will be no need for humans to do these, leading to massive job losses around the world. Another argument states that as these jobs become automated, new jobs and roles – which currently don’t exist – will […]

“When Rates Really Suck And Drivers Take It On The Chin”

A conversation about the future of autonomous trucking with pro-labor author and sociologist Steve Viscelli.

Steve Viscelli doesn’t think of himself as a naysayer. "I’m more a yes-sayer with a pessimistic outlook," said Viscelli, an economic and political sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania and author of The Big Rig: Trucking & the Decline of the American Dream.

That book featured some serious, on-the-ground research, with Viscelli driving thousands of miles in a Class 8 truck. He’s currently at work on another book about trucking, this time about autonomy and automation.And yeah, he’s pretty pessimistic about the self-driving future, at […]

Quality of growth matters: Higher growth will happen when its composition and spread improves, not merely the topline

Quality of growth matters: Higher growth will happen when its composition and spread improves, not merely the topline

Last month, global investment strategist Ruchir Sharma set the dovecotes aflutter when he declared that for countries like India, “5% (GDP growth) is the new 7%, the appropriate aspirational standard.”

He based his growth pessimism on the emergence of four Ds – deglobalisation, depopulation (a shrinking global labour force), declining productivity, and a debt overhang as big as the one in 2008. Almost on cue, India’s GDP number for the first quarter of 2019-20 (April-June) fell with a thud to 5%.

Few Indian economists will agree with Sharma’s formulation, for if India has to accept 5% as the new aspirational benchmark, […]

Melding STEM With the Jewish Humanities

Melding STEM With the Jewish Humanities

For as long as parents and teachers have been educating children there has existed a tension between two complementary but also at times competing values. On the one hand, education is an investment in a profession. By that standard, a successful educational outcome is judged by whether a pupil is adequately prepared to enter the working world and find gainful employment. Equally critical to a successful educational outcome is the socialization of our children into honest, kind, empathetic and socially productive citizens. Ideally, our children will emerge from 15 years of Jewish education as both socially and economically productive […]

Automation and jobs: When technology boosts employment

Automation and jobs: When technology boosts employment

Do industries shed or create jobs when they adopt new labour-saving technologies? This column shows that manufacturing employment grew along with productivity for a century or more, and only later decreased. It argues that the changing nature of demand was behind this pattern, which led to market saturation. This implies that the main impact of automation in the near future may be a major reallocation of jobs, not necessarily massive job losses.

There is widespread concern today that many jobs will be lost to new computer technologies, as more human tasks can be performed by machines. A host of recent […]

Alienated Labor, B.S. Jobs, & the Dream of a 15-Hour Work Week

Alienated Labor, B.S. Jobs, & the Dream of a 15-Hour Work Week

Among anthropologists, there’s a classic story about a western missionary meeting an indigenous inhabitant of an island off the East coast of Australia. It was a bright, sunny day, and the missionary happened upon a man relaxing on the beach: MISSIONARY: Look at you! You’re just wasting your life way, lying around like that. MAN: Why? What do you think I should be doing? MISSIONARY: Well, there are plenty of coconuts all around here. Why not dry some of the coconut kernels, extract the oil, and sell it? MAN: And why would I want to do that? MISSIONARY: You […]
