The Discourse around Technological Progress and the Future of Work. 330 $aThis book presents and analyzes how restructuring processes due to technological change are reflected and processed in political and public discourses in the United States in the most recent past. More specifically, this work examines how the themes of automation, digitization, and the platform economy and their impact on the future of work are reflected in public discourse through the analysis of journalistic articles, and political discourse through the analysis of congressional hearings. Public and political discourses, as well as economic narratives, shape our understanding of certain developments such as technological change, our behavior more generally, and societal support of said developments. Therefore, it is vital to investigate and analyze these discourses in order to show how technological change is perceived and evaluated today. This work draws from concepts and methods of several different disciplines, most notably using a combination of corpus-linguistic methods and exemplary textual analysis. This way, this work stands as truly interdisciplinary, with a unique approach to the quantitative and qualitative examination of discourses. 410 0$aContributions to Economics,$x2197-7178 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aNorth America$xEconomic conditions 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEconomics$xPsychological aspects 606 $aEconomics of Innovation 606 $aNorth American Economics 606 $aMethodology of Political Science 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 606 $aBehavioral Economics 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 0$aNorth America$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aEconomics$xPsychological aspects. 615 14$aEconomics of Innovation. 615 24$aNorth American Economics. 615 24$aMethodology of Political Science. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 615 24$aBehavioral Economics. 676 $a331.120973 700 $aRauscher$b Natalie$01070078 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910497089903321 996 $aThe Future of Work in the United States$92557706 997 $aUNINA
