The author addresses this question\nfrom the perspective of a technologist well versed in econometrics and game\ntheory, and argues that it is not technology alone that could lead to the end\nof work, but its utilization by the capitalist system. Technology allows us to\nminimize the costs of work and increase profits, while the system is worsening\nunemployment, socio-economic inequality and stratification – which could lead to\nthe end of capitalism in a massive global revolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\nAs\nsuch, the book proposes an evolutionary reform based on a seemingly minor but\nin fact essential correction of the corporate income tax, which he proposes\nshould decrease in accordance with the percentage of the enterprise’s revenues\nexpended to pay employee salaries. In this way, entrepreneurs will be motivated\nto implement new professions and occupations, as well as new workplaces. Only\nin this way, the book argues, can reforms be used to prevent the end of work,\nwhich would have catastrophic consequences. \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-05-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319339085\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-33909-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 72\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Komitet Prognoz „Polska 2000 Plus” oraz Instytut Łączności (PIB), Warszawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46917994905740,"sku":"9783319339085","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319339085.jpg?v=1774500033","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319339085","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
