An action plan -- Is politics up to the task? -- Economic and political reform.Looking for ways to handle the transition to a digital economy. Robots, artificial intelligence, and driverless cars are no longer things of the distant future. They are with us today and will become increasingly common in coming years, along with virtual reality and digital personal assistants. As these tools advance deeper into everyday use, they raise the question--how will they transform society, the economy, and politics? If companies need fewer workers due to automation and robotics, what happens to those who once held those jobs and don't have the skills for new jobs? And since many social benefits are delivered through jobs, how are people outside the workforce for a lengthy period of time going to earn a living and get health care and social benefits? Looking past today's headlines, political scientist and cultural observer Darrell M. West argues that society needs to rethink the concept of jobs, reconfigure the social contract, move toward a system of lifetime learning, and develop a new kind of politics that can deal with economic dislocations. With the U.S. governance system in shambles because of political polarization and hyper-partisanship, dealing creatively with the transition to a fully digital economy will vex political leaders and complicate the adoption of remedies that could ease the transition pain. It is imperative that we make major adjustments in how we think about work and the social contract in order to prevent society from spiraling out of control. This book presents a number of proposals to help people deal with the transition from an industrial to a digital economy. We must broaden the concept of employment to include volunteering and parenting and pay greater attention to the opportunities for leisure time. New forms of identity will be possible when the "job" no longer defines people's sense of personal meaning, and they engage in a broader range of activities. Workers will need help throughout their lifetimes to acquire new skills and develop new job capabilities. Political reforms will be necessary to reduce polarization and restore civility so there can be open and healthy debate about where responsibility lies for economic well-being. This book is an important contribution to a discussion about tomorrow--one that needs to take place today.WorkEffect of technological innovations onElectronic commerceInformation technologyElectronic books.WorkEffect of technological innovations on.Electronic commerce.Information technology.331.1West Darrell M.1954-861443MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910480929303321The Future of Work2009890UNINA01623nam0 22003613i 450 VAN025608820230713033056.193N978354037272120230322d1974 |0itac50 bafreDE|||| |||||Groupes DiscretsValentin PoénaruBerlinSpringer1974216 p.ill.24 cm001VAN01022502001 Lecture notes in mathematics210 Berlin [etc.]Springer42120-XXGroup theory and generalizations [MSC 2020]VANC019715MF20F05Generators, relations, and presentations of groups [MSC 2020]VANC023858MF20E22Extensions, wreath products, and other compositions of groups [MSC 2020]VANC023949MF20ExxStructure and classification of infinite or finite groups [MSC 2020]VANC023969MFDiscrete groupsKW:KGroupsKW:KBerlinVANL000066PoenaruValentinVANV209230344699Springer <editore>VANV108073650ITSOL20240614RICAhttps://doi.org/10.1007/BFb0068167E-book – Accesso al full-text attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o ShibbolethBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICAIT-CE0120VAN08NVAN0256088BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICA08CONS e-book 5790 08eMF5790 20230407 Groupes discrets81367UNICAMPANIA
