INNOVATIVE AND TRANSFORMATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INTERVENTION
Quote By: RAGHURAM G. RAJAN | FEB 26, 2019“When we think about technological change, we often assume the aggregate amount of work is fixed, and therefore consider that what is displaced by automation will increase unemployment. Economists sometimes refer to this as the lump of labor fallacy: that there is only so much work to go around. To the extent that progress makes products cheaper, there could be more demand for them, and the overall quantum of human work can even increase. The new work will, however, be different.”
Different technologically advanced products may end up selling at reasonable prices and affordable at the same time increase employment and entrepreneurship. Good products will sell on their own.
