Are we heading for a world without work?
Speaking with a variety of experts and working Americans, Daniel Susskind considers how we might negotiate a world without work. He hears the story of Youngstown, Ohio, where the collapse of the steel industry in the 1970s led to severe job losses and created a perfect storm of societal problems that a fresh wave of rapid automation could replicate on a mass scale. If weβre to avoid such a future, weβre going to have to rethink our attitudes towards taxation, wealth distribution, and even the nature of work itself.
