Robotization and Economic Development
Autor Siddhartha Mitraen Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 sep 2022
It analyzes the direct and indirect effects they have had and are projected to have on the labour markets and production processes in the manufacturing, healthcare and agricultural industries among others. The author explores comparisons of human labour with robotic labour emphasizing the changes that new technologies will bring to traditionally labour-intensive industries. Offering various insights into the effectiveness, benefits and negative implications of robotization on the economy, the book provides a comprehensive picture for policymakers to implement changes that embrace new technologies while meeting employment needs and development goals.
Topical and lucid, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of science and technology studies, digital humanities, economics, labour studies, public policy, development studies, political studies and sociology as well as policymakers and others who are interested in these areas.

Recenzii
‘Such a fascinating look at the large, even humongous shifts that are all around us through the lens of history, technology and economics. Whether you are a student or a professional who wishes to understand how robotization and AI are going to impact our world—this book is for you. Mitra takes a complex subject and connects the dots in ways that are unexpected, surprising, and ultimately very satisfying.’

‘The robot revolution is already underway, with profound implications for developing country and developed economies. In this wide-ranging examination, Siddhartha Mitra explains how and when new technologies will replace human labour in manufacturing, agriculture, and service provision. Employing basic economic tools and a clear depiction of how robots, AI, and machine learning will substitute for human effort, Mitra identifies which workers are most at risk of displacement and income loss. With Covid-19 accelerating the adoption of labour-replacing technology, it is urgent that we struggle with Mitra’s recommendations for policies designed to harness the benefits of robotization while ensuring a just transition to the brave, new world on our doorstep.’

‘Robotization, like other forms of technical progress, expands opportunities for the human race. But in a market economy, it also poses a threat by displacing human labour by robots. These aspects of robotization have been debated in recent times. This book by Professor Siddhartha Mitra provides an eminently readable discussion of the issues involved. He provides a historical background, and an analytical apparatus to make sense of the trade-offs involved. The book does not shy away from discussing difficult questions but does so in a lucid manner. I have no doubt, given the contents of the book, that it will be widely read. And the reader will appreciate, as I have, the hard work that went into making these seemingly obscure topics accessible’.
