Recenzje

The global economy has been fuelled by pervasive and uneven patterns of industrialization for more than two centuries. Jostein Hauge's new book reveals how significant new megatrends are reshaping both globalization and industrialization in the 21st century. The book is particularly insightful in offering critical assessments of topics like the impact of digital automation on production jobs, the rise of manufacturing-related services including artificial intelligence, and the dire planetary consequences of ecological breakdown if current development strategies are not fundamentally revamped. Written in an engaging style for a broad audience, this is a highly recommended and informative book that couldn't be more timely.
