Re-humanising the World. 330 $aTechnological dominance is shifting the balance of global economic stability. This is the central premise behind the latest book from Lorenzi and Berrebi who view the rise of artificial intelligence, robotics, use of private data, and genetic transformation, among other developments, culminating in new economic conditions that require a fresh sense of governance in order for society to sustain order. Whilst progress in technology provides numerous opportunities and hope, is the desire to pursue these ambitions in innovation putting our society at risk of being undermined and, ultimately, governed by technology firms? How will these changes affect economic outlooks in an age of growing inequality and aging populations? What role do politicians serve in facilitating these changes? The decline of a labour force, the use of Big Data and increased speeds of communication are but three examples that the authors address in their quest to understand where the limits should lie between progressand disruption for the future of society. 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 606 $aSocial choice 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aEconomics 606 $aCulture 606 $aEconomic Growth 606 $aEconomic Policy 606 $aScience and Technology Studies 606 $aSocial Choice and Welfare 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aCultural Economics 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSocial choice. 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aScience and Technology Studies. 615 24$aSocial Choice and Welfare. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aCultural Economics. 676 $a338.9 676 $a338.926 700 $aLorenzi$b Jean-Herve?$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$00 702 $aBerrebi$b Mickae?l 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349534903321 996 $aProgress or Freedom$91904943 997 $aUNINA
