Work for All or Mass Unemployment?

This controversial book is a contribution to one of the most important issues of today. Looking beyond the superficial problems associated with the use of new technology, Professor Freeman presents a scenario for sustainable development. This is not utopia, but a clearheaded blueprint for guiding our policy makers forward.
