Abstract

One of the tools to increase profits is to reduce the cost of labor and, as is well known, there is no better reduction in the cost of labor than its elimination. The elimination of jobs is as much a factor in increasing profits as it is in reducing costs, as well as an effect of technological innovation. This innovative wave also affects the immaterial economy. Is this the last stage of capitalism and access to what some call fully automated luxury communism? I explore some implications of the spread of robots and this utopia of the end of work.
