{"product_id":"technological-unemployment-basic-income-and-fabio-dorlando-9781032313931","title":"Technological Unemployment, Basic Income, and Well-being","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe main novelty of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is the entry of robots and Artificial Intelligence into the production process. This phenomenon could potentially generate high levels of unemployment, or even full unemployment, and therefore calls for innovative public policies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book adopts an agnostic position on the size of the future impact of technological progress on employment but proposes a thought experiment built on a full unemployment scenario, which focuses on the consequences that these policies might have for people's well-being, with particular reference to the provision of a universal Basic Income (UBI). Relying on some of the principles and models of Behavioral and Happiness Economics, it is argued that implementing a UBI that does not change over time may increase well-being inequality. A policy mix that combines a rising basic income with other measures is therefore recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book marks a significant contribution to the literature on economic policy, labor economics, the economics of well-being and happiness, and behavioral economics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fabio D'Orlando\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032313935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032313931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Fabio D'Orlando","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44410606452991,"sku":"9781032313931","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d2e5190-0ddb-4dcf-958a-cf41080dc23f.jpg?v=1697536960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/technological-unemployment-basic-income-and-fabio-dorlando-9781032313931","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
