One economist turns up with experiments and a live demo, another with a single slide of productivity figures, and they're both right. This book is about what happens to the standard economic toolkit when a big new technology arrives faster than the statistics can see it.
It covers how slowly new tech spreads, the huge investment boom, and what happens to jobs once work gets broken into tasks. Then the trickier stuff: wages and who owns what, inflation, interest rates, trade, government budgets, and how you measure an economy full of machines that write.
What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (162 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
