Contemporary discussions about automation and employment echo a long history of labor-saving technologies. This history has unfolded in waves of disruption to existing labor practices and has been accompanied by anxieties (Mokyr et al. 2015). These used to decline as new occupations were created and economic growth continued to raise the demand for labor, albeit in very different jobs than those that were lost or disrupted. The history of automation anxiety has been constellated by a succession of claims that “this time it will be different.” Digital, following mechanical and electrical automations, is no exception © 2022, CESifo Forum.All Rights Reserved
