Recenzje

Ambitious and pragmatic, visionary and judicious, and a surpassingly graceful writer, Cynthia Estlund is the country's premier scholar when it comes to thinking large about the laws and policies surrounding work in the United States and the world. Her new book is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of work in the age of high-tech automation. That future, Estlund shows, is likely to be one of greatly diminished and often terribly degraded work for the millions of Americans already hardest hit by wealth and income inequalities. What is to be done? Estlund's answers are compelling. Automation Anxiety draws out the best of the big ideas afoot today, with keen attention to ethno-racial rifts and the urgent need for a sustainable future for the planet, and therefore, also for human work." -William E. Forbath, Lloyd M. Bentsen Chair in Law, Associate Dean of Research, The University of Texas at Austin
