As the pace of economic change seems to only quicken, including
rapid technological advance, today's advanced economies face
uncertainty from a number of directions, most of which have the
potential to change established modes of thinking and the
institutional arrangements that underpin basic economic
organization. Labor-saving technological advances are accompanied
by risks to jobs due to automation. Work is being made more
insecure for a wide variety of workers and skill levels because of
shifting capital-labor relationships. Regulatory systems are
scrambling to adapt to new technologies in infrastructure planning
or to the classification of workers under rapidly proliferating
"alternative work arrangements." Even the ties that bind groups of
countries together in often long-standing bilateral and
multilateral trade relationships are increasingly under strain with
the rise of populist economic nationalism in some of the world's
largest economies. Crucial changes are taking place that risk
eroding structures of opportunity, as well as public confidence in
the institutions charged with economic policy making in many
countries. The expert views contained in this book will be valuable
to the reader studying or working on the many overlapping issues of
economy, technology, and society and thus looking for insights into
some of the most pertinent topics in today's advanced economies.
Taking a multidimensional view, this book synthesizes the main
issues and dilemmas facing the economy of the future, seeks to
frame the trade-offs in policy terms, while also advancing the
discussion towards recommendations and solutions. It focuses on the
intersection of work, technology, society, infrastructure, and the
economic role of government. In this way, the book is centered on
some of the most tangible areas of economic structure that
reproduce the gains of growth, but it also addresses matters
related to the distribution effects and measures that can produce
more inclusive and productive outcomes, including the fundamental
role of policy and regulation.
