The greater the number of machines in use the more a general culture of machine operators and tenders replaces the skilled workers of the past. Higher paid skilled labor is replaced with unskilled labor and machines first.

Based on the book I think Adam Smith would say that a basic income leading to laziness is nonsense, which it is. He also talks about the need for robust regulation and the fact that the masters will seek to corrupt the regulators. He further talks about the value of workers banding together to balance the power of the masters and that the masters will try to use their power to make laws to prevent workers from banding together. He gives tacit support for progressive taxation, that it is reasonable for those who earn more to pay a higher percentage of their income as tax. The interference he was against is that where a country tries to prop up an industry by taxing imports. He was in favour of some types of interference, like regulation, protecting labour. He wrote many times in opposition to laissez-faire. Which is why it is ironic when modern laissez-faire proponents quote just two words, which appear only once in the book.

The biggest crises we have in the Capitalist world are tightly linked to paradigm shifts around "Productivity". At the time of the Industrial revolution, Productivity used to be the equation between Rent, Profit and Wages. As we hit the Financial globalisation, Productivity is now the equation between Debt, Credit and Interests. In the move towards Digital decentralisation, Productivity will become the equation between Yield farming, Swaps and Fees.

Hey bro could you please make a summary of "Fault Lines by Sir Raghu Ram Rajan" that was the best business book of the year. It is seriously quite informative.

The final infographics at the end of each point remind me of placemats. Mr. Swedish Investor should get them made as placemats. I'd buy them all and learn economics and investing while eating my cereal!

Pls explain in great details on how you summarize a book the step-by-step process?

That is a great idea to summarize the great books of economics. In that case, I would expect a video about David Ricardo, who continued Adam Smith's theory, John Stuart Mills utilitarianism, Thomas Robert Malthus on the impact of overpopulation on food shortage and the economy and Karl Marx's Capital. That book is hard to understand and we see ideas coming from it everywhere, like the Reserve Army of Labour. And that would give you many additional viewership from the left. Just suggesting. But I think you could grow your public with economy's great thinkers. Personally, I would be most interested by a summary of David Ricardo's Principles of Political Economy and Taxation and one from Karl Marx's Capital.

Kapital is not a valid treatise on economics. It does not adhere to or build upon the sum of individuals motivations and actions, but instead assigns fictional behavior to masses of people. The post-capitalist ideal he describes is not possible because human nature is inherently and instinctually to preserve life. Our own life that is. Selfishness cannot be indoctrinated out of anyone, even the altruistic preachers have to eat eventually.

I don't understand the outrage here. I listed like 8 economists, all capitalists but one. I am clearly not promoting communism here. If you hate communists so much, you should know well your enemy, and know his arguments in order to be able to properly refute them.. And he does make a good critic of capitalism, even though he mostly criticize and does not give solutions. He is interesting because it is capitalism in reverse. For example, classical economists states when economy overheats, you have a shortage of workers, and that it brings high inflation by putting pressure on needy corporations to constantly increase the wages to have the few available workers. Karl Marx states in Capital II, that the corporations need a high unemployment in order to be able to keep paying very low wages, because the workers will be forced to accept anything to be able to work, so the corporation doesn't need to pay higher wages. Are you american? Cuba has free medecine. With all the corruption in american politics and the misery of many poor americans that are left for themselves with nothing, you should wonder if you are so much better of in America...

For them to return to the workforce (when an opportunity presents itself) they MUST have a house, phone transport, power, a computer and some money behind them. Otherwise they continue to go backwards where recovery is not possible.

The book is something like 250 years old. Those aren't things that would have been a consideration then. He did write a whole book on morality though.

Hey Srindal4657! The higher the productivity of a country, the richer it gets, typically. If lots of the basic stuff is automated, humanity will move on to "higher level" stuff. That could be evolving from doing farmwork by hand to having machines do that for us, so that no humans are needed any longer to feed ourselves. Historically we spent maybe 50% of our waking time feeding ourselves, so that would be a huge upgrade, efficiency wise. If it makes us happier or not, that's another question though, totally agree with that.

Land in the 18th century is equivalent to digital space (websites, servers, etc) in today's times.

There are a ton of jobs in today’s society that don’t produce anything tangible. Most office jobs. They are completely useless. If they don’t exist anymore it would not ultimately hurt society. They are convenience jobs.
