• Ominous Trends in the U.S.

  • Workers who perform easily automated tasks are being replaced by technology that can do the work faster, cheaper, and more efficiently.
  • As a result, automation and computerization have led to both higher productivity and a net job loss.
  • In general, jobs that are traditionally associated with the middle class (assembly line workers, data processors, foremen, and supervisors) are beginning to disappear due to automation.

• Global Aging

  • Some economists see advantages in such changes, notably the opportunity to progress automation and technological development without causing unemployment.

• Postindustrial Societies: The Birth of the Information Age

• Socialism

  • For orthodox Marxists, socialism is the lower stage of communism based on the principle of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his contribution" while upper stage communism is based on the principle of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need"; the upper stage becoming possible only after the socialist stage further develops economic efficiency and the automation of production has led to a superabundance of goods and services.
