Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“An ambitious, insightful, and provocative book…In the best Economist tradition, this book is both accessible and sophisticated, one that raises all the right questions.” —Washington Post
“Avent is scrupulous in supplying both pros and cons. Scholarly without being overly academic, this work offers an excellent high-level summation of the difficulties of the current US and international labor economies, with a very slight whiff of hopefulness at the end.” —Library Journal
“Nobody is better placed to tell us how technology is shaping our economy and our lives.” —Tim Harford, economist and writer of the Financial Times column “The Undercover Economist”
“Narrator Scott Merriman would do well as moderator of a debate between political opponents: His tone is authoritative but eminently reasonable and restrained. That quality makes him an ideal narrator for this thoughtful audio…Merriman is comfortable with both the economics jargon and the warmer personal anecdotes that Avent shares as he builds his argument.” —AudioFile
