This book investigates the question as to whether technological developments will ultimately
mean the end of work and if so what the consequences will be. The author addresses this
question from the perspective of a technologist well versed in econometrics and game theory
and argues that it is not technology alone that could lead to the end of work but its
utilization by the capitalist system. Technology allows us to minimize the costs of work and
increase profits while the system is worsening unemployment socio-economic inequality and
stratification - which could lead to the end of capitalism in a massive global revolution. As
such the book proposes an evolutionary reform based on a seemingly minor but in fact essential
correction of the corporate income tax which he proposes should decrease in accordance with
the percentage of the enterprise's revenues expended to pay employee salaries. In this way
entrepreneurs will be motivated to implement new professions and occupations as well as new
workplaces. Only in this way the book argues can reforms be used to prevent the end of work
which would have catastrophic consequences.
