The Straight-to-the-Point “The End of Work: Why Your Passion Can Become Your Job” Review

The Straight-to-the-Point “The End of Work: Why Your Passion Can Become Your Job” Review

In his provocative book The End of Work: Why Your Passion Can Become Your Job, economist John Tamny makes a contrarian case against widespread predictions that automation and artificial intelligence will lead to permanent mass technological unemployment.

Tamny argues that while automation will continue displacing certain jobs, an expanding economy stimulated by innovation, capital investment, and specialization will also generate new, more fulfilling work. He contends that as long as entrepreneurs can innovate, investors provide capital, and consumers have wants and needs, human work will never permanently disappear.

Reasons for the Disappearance of Jobs: Debunking the AI Myth

Reasons for the Disappearance of Jobs: Debunking the AI Myth

According to a recent report from HSBC, there are four key factors behind the disappearance of jobs, and artificial intelligence (AI) is not one of them. This finding challenges the common belief that AI is solely responsible for the decline in employment opportunities.

Firstly, one major reason for the loss of jobs is the impact of globalization. As companies seek to cut costs and increase efficiency, many jobs are outsourced to countries with lower labor costs. This trend has resulted in job losses in industries such as manufacturing and customer service, as traditional roles are shifted to locations where labor […]
