Accelerating automation threatens to displace multitudes of workers. The proposals to deal with the crisis -- increased education and a guaranteed minimum income -- are insufficient. Here is a new solution from Jonathan Kolber, author of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations: a 21st Century Translation and Commentary."The author takes a systematic look at every function of a civilization: from economics to well-being to governance, and paints a picture of a civilization that is based on abundance instead of scarcity." ~Infoversant Book Reviews"Jonathan Kolber has not only produced a far reaching elucidation of many of today's (and more importantly, tomorrow's) global problems, but he has also done that rare and difficult thing - provided a thoughtful and detailed solution to them. If readers perceive the narrative of this book to be too far-fetched, then I suspect we will not be able to avoid the coming negative upheaval. If, on the other hand, people approach these ideas with an open and clear mind, I have faith for the future. Thanks are due to Jonathan for focusing this conversation in such a detailed way."~Alexander R.
