By contrast, process innovation, or the introduction of an improved production method, is labor-saving, because it enables firms to produce the same quantity of an existing good or service with fewer workers. https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/automation-impact-jobs-unemployment-by-robert-skidelsky-2019-09?utm_source=Project+Syndicate+Newsletter&utm_campaign=5ea97e00aa-sunday_newsletter_22_9_2019&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_73bad5b7d8-5ea97e00aa-106319903&mc_cid=5ea97e00aa&mc_eid=4868cc572a

Branko Milanovic – 1½ Adam Smiths

The belief that Adam Smith was an unqualified supporter of the free market, anti-labor and pro-capitalist, or was always in favor of small government is just so much at odds with his writings that one is bewildered as to how such a caricature ever took hold. Recently, however, not least thanks to Amartya Sen’s writings, the “real” Smith is much better known. Norman is here adding, I hope, the proverbial last nail into the coffin of neoliberal caricature of Smith. see   https://braveneweurope.com/branko-milanovic-1%C2%BD-adam-smiths

The Meritocracy Is Ripping America Apart By David Brooks

The Meritocracy Is Ripping America Apart Whether it’s the resort town you vacation in or the private school you send your kids to, exclusivity is the pervasive ethos. The more the exclusivity, the thicker will be the coating of P.C. progressivism to show that we’re all good people. People in this caste work phenomenally hard to build their wealth. As Daniel Markovits notes in his powerful new book, “ The Meritocracy Trap ,” between 1979 and 2006, the percentage of workers in the top quintile of earners who work more than 50 hours a week nearly doubled. People in this caste are super-skilled and productive. There are more than 70 law firms, Markovits notes, that generate over $1 million in annual profit per partner. When Instagram was bought by Facebook for $1 billion, it had only 13 full-time employees.

The initiative allows people to sell stocks or other investments and delay capital gains taxes for years — as long as they plow the proceeds into projects in federally certified opportunity zones. Any profits from those projects can avoid federal taxes altogether. “Opportunity zones, hottest thing going, providing massive new incentives for investment and job creation in distressed communities,”  Mr. Trump  declared  at a recent rally in Cincinna...
