Post Labour Economy & The Great Decoupling | Part 1/6: The Rise of Automation, with David Shapiro

Welcome to the first episode of our deep-dive series on "The Great Decoupling," where host Dalibor Petrovic is joined by author and futurist David Shapiro to explore the critical topic of Post-Labor Economics. (Register Here for Episode 2, on Aug 22 @ Noon EST: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regis...) What happens to our society when automation and Artificial Intelligence become better, faster, cheaper, and safer than human labor? In this inaugural session, David Shapiro introduces the foundational concepts from Part 1 of his new manuscript, "The Great Decoupling," focusing on "The Rise of Automation." Join us as we explore the core principles of a world where economic productivity is no longer tied to human labor. We discuss why this industrial revolution is fundamentally different, whether the "creative destruction" that created new jobs in the past will happen again, and the four key human capabilities (Strength, Dexterity, Cognition, Empathy) that are being systematically automated. Discover the real-world impact of superstar firms, capital intensification, and the ultimate best-case and worst-case scenarios for humanity's future—from a Star Trek-like utopia to an Elysium-style dystopia. This is the essential conversation about the future of work, economics, and society that you can't afford to miss.
