The Great Transformation ─ Politics, Labour and Learning in the Digital Age
商品資訊
商品簡介
Since the 1970s information sciences and new communication technologies have changed the ways we produce everything, from food and material goods to knowledge. These first steps in the Great Transformation are unlike earlier agricultural or industrial revolutions. This transformation will dramatically increase productivity while radically reducing demand for human labour across all skill levels. When work as we know it disappears, what will we educate for? How will we live? Will this change enlarge or further impoverish democracy? These are questions we need to address. If policy responses to previous socio-economic crises like the 1890s and 1930s ‘depressions’ and the 2008 Global Financial Crisis are any guide, we have no guarantee that good policy will prevail. How can we avoid the pitfalls of willful blindness as we confront this unprecedented change? The book shows how we can do better this time.
