• Resumen

  • Here, Pistono argues that people urgently need to test a universal basic income before a wave of job-killing technology hits. Today, with the rise of machine-learning algorithms and advanced robotics, many have changed their view. It's possible that within 20 years almost half of all jobs will be lost to machines, and nobody really knows how all are going to cope with that. Those who still have faith in technology's power to create jobs fail to recognize the shift to a "superstar economy," where a handful of companies disrupt markets, make billions and employ very few people, while the rest fight for the scraps.
