Work for All or Mass Unemployment? Summary

Work for All or Mass Unemployment?: Computerised Technical Change in the 21st Century by Christopher Freeman

This controversial book is a contribution to one of the most important issues of today. Looking beyond the superficial problems associated with the use of new technology, Professor Freeman presents a scenario for sustainable development. This is not utopia, but a clearheaded blueprint for guiding our policy makers forward.

Table of Contents

"Disturbing, perhaps alarming"; why mass unemployemnt is economically wasteful, socially disasterous and ethically unacceptable; Ricardo's cat - economic theory and why the fears of technical change on the part of the "labouring class" conform to the correct principles of political economy; "the biggest technological Juggernaut that ever rolled" - information and communication technology (ICT); 10,000 miles or one micro-second? - the international dimension of technical change and employment in the world economy; a man's place is in the home - new patterns of work, working hours and family life, what flexibility could mean; sustainable development and limits to growth - the machine that changed the world in the 20th century (the automobile) and the machine that can save the environment in the 21st century (the computer); in the long run we are not all dead - why Keynes is still relevant but not enough; work for all - policies for the turn of the century and the millennium.
