Mensch, Maschine!Zukunft der Arbeit (10/12) — Wettbewerb schafft Arbeit, die keiner brauchtWarum Marktwirtschaft nützlich aber prinzipiell ineffizient ist und wir es lange ignoriert haben.
Wenn die Maschinen immer besser werden, immer schneller, immer smarter, müsste die Gesellschaft insgesamt nicht auch immer produktiver werden? Nein: Seit den 1990er jahren steigt die Produktivität in Detuschland kaum noch. Und das trotz rasanter Fortschritte in Automatisierung und Robotisierung. Produktive Tätigkeiten fallen weg, aber dafür entstehen neue Jobs: Bullshit Jobs. Arbeit, die nur dem Wettbewerb dient und nicht mehr den Kund*innen.

Planet JesusPlanet Jesus – Phishing for Phools on the Euphrates – Ep. 6In this episode, some excellent scholarship on economics is reviewed. It reveals a fundamental weakness in humanity that makes us susceptible to manipulation. That scholarship is compared with some picturesque images from the Book of Revelation that communicate the same truth, that is, the tendency for people to be deceived by the powerful. And finally, a path forward beyond government regulation is considered, a path that includes a heart change.

Robert Shiller delivers a fundamental challenge to this insight, arguing that markets harm as well as help us. As long as there is profit to be made, sellers will systematically exploit our psychological weaknesses and our ignorance through manipulation and deception.
