I read that ...Do you 100% agree with Paul Krugman?<br /><br />I read that article and looked at his graph (he really needs to explain that a bit better).<br /><br />Whenever I see an article like this, first I think of automation and where it can possibly go.<br /><br />My belief is that a lot of people now living just aren't employable for meaningful work. By that I mean you are pretty much going to have to artificially manufacture something for them to do if you want "full employment."<br /><br />I think past notions of "natural rates" of employment have much to do with the world as it is now, and certainly not what it appears to becoming.<br /><br />Personally I really just kind of... ignore these economic things now. My thinking is pretty much "First you get the energy, then you get the resources, then you get the robots..."<br /><br />I think economists are whistling past the graveyard of a world that is dead and gone, they just don't know it yet.sunbeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16540822135478202229noreply@blogger.com
