CNN article that analyzed the millions of manufacturing jobs lost to automation between 2000 and 2015.\u003cbr\u003e It is said that there are four times more jobs lost to globalization.\u003cbr\u003e I've personally visited several cities that were once manufacturing centers, including Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Baltimore.\u003cbr\u003e Besides, I knew what my friends were doing and what was going to happen next.\u003cbr\u003e As I put all the puzzle pieces together, my heart sank and all sorts of thoughts came to mind.\u003cbr\u003e There is no one who can stop this phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e The economies and cultures of these regions were annihilated, and the same thing would happen to others in the future.\u003cbr\u003e American lives and families are falling apart. \u003cbr\u003ePervasive economic problems have now become the new normal.\u003cbr\u003e We are facing the third or fourth great economic transformation in human history, yet no one seems to be talking about it or even planning a response.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.35\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What happens to the 40 percent of manufacturing workers who lose their jobs and can't find new ones? The simple answer is that many fall into extreme poverty and apply for disability benefits.\u003cbr\u003e The number of applicants for disability benefits began to increase rapidly in 2000, increasing by a total of 3.5 million.\u003cbr\u003e The number has increased significantly, particularly in manufacturing-heavy states such as Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.\u003cbr\u003e In Michigan, nearly half of the 310,000 people who lost their jobs between 2003 and 2013 applied for disability benefits.\u003cbr\u003e Many of those who were forced out of their jobs joined the ranks of the lowest class, dependent on the government. \u003cbr\u003eIt's a good indicator of what would happen if truck drivers lost their jobs.\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.76~77\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One reason the wave of automation is coming is that, from a perspective where getting work done is the sole goal, people are much more difficult to manage than machines.\u003cbr\u003e There is no need to look at it negatively for thinking this way.\u003cbr\u003e Only by accepting this fact can we begin to work toward a solution.\u003cbr\u003e It can also be an opportunity to think deeply about what makes humans valuable.\u003cbr\u003e We need to consider the fact that there are many things that humans are not actually best suited to do.\u003cbr\u003e The opposite is also true.\u003cbr\u003e Are most jobs truly suited to humans? That is, if humans aren't suited to work, is work truly suited to humans? --- p.106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'US Financial Diary', an in-depth analysis of the incomes of 235 middle- and lower-class households \u003cbr\u003eJonathan Morduch, project manager of the Financial Diaries project, says:\u003cbr\u003e “Since the 1970s, it has become increasingly difficult to find stable, predictable jobs that pay a living wage.\u003cbr\u003e These changes have led to greater income volatility for many households.” According to a JPMorgan Chase survey, roughly 80 percent of consumers do not have enough spare cash to manage the difference between their monthly income and expenses.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, unexpected expenses like hospital bills or car repairs can derail a household's finances for the year. JP Morgan Chase says the income level where income volatility is not a problem is around $105,000 per year.\u003cbr\u003e This is far beyond the income of most households.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.159\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAccording to a Pew Research Center survey, many men are giving up or delaying marriage due to financial insecurity.\u003cbr\u003e In the same survey, the most important condition for women in finding a spouse was a stable job.\u003cbr\u003e Marriage is something that happens when you have optimism, stability, and financial ability.\u003cbr\u003e Marriage is bound to cost money.\u003cbr\u003e If you don't have a stable job, it will be difficult to meet the conditions mentioned above.\u003cbr\u003e Marriage rates have fallen across all demographics over the past 40 years.\u003cbr\u003e However, the decline rate was particularly notable among those with a high school diploma or lower.\u003cbr\u003e The marriage rate among the working class, which was 70 percent in 1970, is now only 45 percent.\u003cbr\u003e The decline in marriage rates accelerated in 2000.\u003cbr\u003e This is roughly the same time that manufacturing jobs began to disappear.\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.184~186\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe best way to secure the public interest in the wake of automation would be a value-added tax (VAT), paid when people or businesses purchase goods or services.\u003cbr\u003e From a business perspective, this money is reflected in the cost of production at each stage.\u003cbr\u003e If a value-added tax is introduced, it will become much more difficult for even the most tax-savvy corporations to exploit America's infrastructure and workforce to make money without paying taxes.\u003cbr\u003e It will also play a role in encouraging all citizens to support technological advancement.\u003cbr\u003e Even an auto mechanic in Appalachia would feel like his stake increased every time someone made money.\u003cbr\u003e Of the 193 countries worldwide, 160 already impose value-added tax (VAT) or goods and services tax.\u003cbr\u003e Among developed countries, the United States is the only one without VAT.\u003cbr\u003e The average VAT rate in Europe is 20 percent. VAT is well-established and proven to be efficient. \u003cbr\u003eIf we introduced a VAT at half the average European rate, we could provide a universal basic income to every American adult.\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.240~241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Let us now consider a new form of capitalist economy focused on maximizing human well-being and value realization.\u003cbr\u003e There may be times when these goals and the goal of GDP growth are aligned.\u003cbr\u003e But sometimes the two goals don't align.\u003cbr\u003e For example, an airline that removes passengers who have already boarded in order to increase profits may be good for capital, but it is not good for people.\u003cbr\u003e The same goes for pharmaceutical companies that sell life-saving drugs at ridiculously high prices.\u003cbr\u003e I think most people would agree that airlines should accept a decline in revenue, and pharmaceutical companies should make a reasonable profit. \u003cbr\u003eWhat if this thinking continues to spread throughout the economy? Let's call this human-centered capitalism, or human capitalism for short.\u003cbr\u003e The core principles of human capitalism would be:\u003cbr\u003e --- p.277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Universities have been overrated as if they were the answer to all our economic problems related to jobs.\u003cbr\u003e According to the most recent survey, the six-year graduation rate for first-time full-time college students is 59 percent.\u003cbr\u003e This means that only 59 percent of students who started college in 2009 had earned a bachelor's degree by 2015.\u003cbr\u003e This ratio has remained virtually unchanged over the past few years.\u003cbr\u003e For students attending top private universities, this figure may seem excessively low.\u003cbr\u003e This is because in so-called first-class universities, this ratio reaches 88 percent. \u003cbr\u003eThe six-year graduation rate for universities with open admissions was 32 percent, while for-profit universities it was only 23 percent.\u003cbr\u003e Similarly, only 29.1 percent of students graduated from two-year colleges within three years.\u003cbr\u003e Colleges, not high schools, are the real dropout factories in America.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I have often sat down with people who will lead our society.\u003cbr\u003e The machine has no power.\u003cbr\u003e The system is important.\u003cbr\u003e Usually, what we wish wasn't true is often true.\u003cbr\u003e I wrote this book in the hope that you will see what I have seen.\u003cbr\u003e Then we can create a much better world.\u003cbr\u003e People generally believe that ideas change the world.\u003cbr\u003e That's wrong.\u003cbr\u003e People change the world.\u003cbr\u003e People who dedicate themselves and sacrifice, and who fight against the forces that seek to destroy our society, are the ones who change the world. \u003cbr\u003eWho are we serving? Humans or the market? Are we opioid addicts hurtling towards a grim fate beyond our control, or are we an elite isolated in our own spheres? Do we even have the grit, will, confidence, and self-reliance to do what's necessary to rebuild the world? Do we have enough empathy? Capital doesn't care about us.\u003cbr\u003e We must move beyond capital as the primary measure of value.\u003cbr\u003e Human capitalism will give us the opportunity to see clearly what is important to us and how to pursue it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- pp.332~333\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003e“More than 5.1 million jobs will disappear by 2020.” —World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report (2016)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e_ The true face of the technological revolution, which began systematically eliminating jobs in the name of efficiency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the end of 2018, South Korea experienced a general strike by taxi drivers.\u003cbr\u003e The main reason was that the carpooling service of a huge company called Kakao threatened the jobs of taxi drivers.\u003cbr\u003e A taxi driver who participated in the general strike attempted self-immolation in his taxi and ultimately died.\u003cbr\u003e Providing a service that allows anyone with a mobile phone app to use carpooling instead of taxis was no different from a major attack that threatened the immediate livelihood of taxi drivers.\u003cbr\u003e At first glance, this incident was a battle for rice bowls between large corporations and the taxi industry, but on the other hand, it was the most direct incident that made visible the imminent danger that technological advancements would take away ordinary people's jobs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe World Economic Forum announced the following in its 2016 Future of Jobs Report:\u003cbr\u003e “More than 5.1 million jobs will disappear by 2020 due to technological advancements.” Also, when the public learned of the emergence of AI (artificial intelligence) that surpassed even human intuition, as evidenced by the match between Google’s AlphaGo and Go player Lee Sedol, the public expressed shock and serious concern.\u003cbr\u003e When human jobs are replaced by AI, there is no clear alternative for how people who have lost their income will sustain their lives.\u003cbr\u003e \"When the jobs that sustain us disappear, how will ordinary people survive? How can we reverse the absurd situation where humans must compete with technology for efficiency? Why does the technological revolution threaten rather than enhance our lives?\" \"The War on Normal People\" (original title) comprehensively addresses these questions. \u003cbr\u003eIn the book's introduction, author Andrew Yang identifies the technological revolution as the biggest reason why ordinary people are being forced into the job war:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ordinary people.\u003cbr\u003e Seventy percent of Americans consider themselves middle class.\u003cbr\u003e You who read this will probably think so too.\u003cbr\u003e Even now, some brilliant minds are scheming to replace you with cheaper workers overseas, or to gradually replace you with widgets, software, and robots.\u003cbr\u003e It's not that I do it out of malice.\u003cbr\u003e This is because the market structure rewards managers who increase efficiency.\u003cbr\u003e Efficiency doesn't usually like people.\u003cbr\u003e Efficiency favors the method that is most effective relative to the cost.\u003cbr\u003e (Page 7)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The replacement of labor by machines and software is already a reality. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, since no specific occupation has disappeared overnight, it is not easy to resist as strongly as the taxi industry.\u003cbr\u003e However, at some point, fewer new employees were hired, workers were retiring early, and the number of people involuntarily unemployed due to lack of jobs was steadily increasing.\u003cbr\u003e In addition, income inequality and economic polarization are also worsening, coupled with rising unemployment rates.\u003cbr\u003e For this reason, the lives of ordinary people are in a situation where they can fall into poverty at any time.\u003cbr\u003e That's why the title of this book is 'The War of

income, not the average.\u003cbr\u003e That is, it refers to the people in the middle when lined up based on income level.\u003cbr\u003e In most countries, it is also the most populous group.\u003cbr\u003e The reason this book focuses on ordinary people is that those who will be most severely affected by unemployment due to technological advancements are those in the median.\u003cbr\u003e These are people who can somehow manage their lives when they have a job, but are likely to fall into the abyss in an instant if they lose their job.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As automation advances, a tsunami of unemployment will hit.\u003cbr\u003e This is not a story of the distant future, but something that is happening right now.\u003cbr\u003e A recent survey in the United States predicts that 13 million Americans will lose their jobs within the next seven years.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, there will be no replacement jobs. \u003cbr\u003eWhat will happen in a near future society where social unrest and chronic unemployment are rampant?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The author, Andrew Yang, is a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur who founded the non-profit Venture for America, where he spent two years supporting the creation and stable operation of new companies in major U.S. cities.\u003cbr\u003e To this end, we traveled to dozens of cities across the United States, including Detroit, New Orleans, and Cincinnati.\u003cbr\u003e These cities were vibrant industrial centers in the late 19th and 20th centuries, but as the 20th century drew to a close, they suffered population decline and economic decline. \u003cbr\u003eHe and his company have been featured in major media outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fast Company for their successful efforts in discovering and incubating new businesses in these cities, and Andrew Yang was even named one of Fast Company's \"100 Most Creative People in Business.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Andrew Yang, a white-collar worker from the upper class of the United States who graduated from Brown University and Columbia Law School, travels to various cities to foster venture companies and experiences firsthand the impact of joblessness on both society and human life.\u003cbr\u003e Andrew Yang recalls seeing a bleak vision of the future as he watched the depressed and frustrated people he rarely saw in wealthy cities on the East Coast, including New York, and the empty, crime-infested mega-malls. \u003cbr\u003eBut the bigger problem is that these areas are not decreasing, but rather increasing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A report published by the White House in December 2016 predicted that 83 percent of jobs paying less than $20 an hour could be automated or replaced by machines.\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, it is predicted that the advent of self-driving cars will result in the loss of 2.2 to 3.1 million passenger car, bus, and truck driver jobs in the United States alone.\u003cbr\u003e Innovative technologies that could take away jobs like cashiers, fast-food workers, customer service representatives, and secretaries are also on the horizon.\u003cbr\u003e High-income white-collar workers such as property managers, lawyers, and insurance brokers are no exception.\u003cbr\u003e The emergence of such technologies appears likely to occur within a very short period of time.\u003cbr\u003e Then, millions of people who suddenly lose their jobs will be scrambling to find new ones. \u003cbr\u003eThis blow will hit those lower down the skill ladder harder.\u003cbr\u003e (Pages 8-9)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What Andrew Yang is noticing is that even the startups he helped create to create jobs are now looking for ways to eliminate jobs.\u003cbr\u003e The reality is that most startups are focusing on developing technologies that increase efficiency, such as software that replaces human consultants, delivery apps, logistics automation systems, and AI-powered response software that automatically responds to customers.\u003cbr\u003e This is why the irony of creating jobs often leads to the destruction of other jobs continues to occur.\u003cbr\u003e For example, as technological advancements have made online shopping more widespread, large-scale offline stores have experienced a sharp decline in sales, leading to job losses among salespeople.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e2017 will go down in history as the year that ushered in what has been called the \"retail apocalypse.\"\u003cbr\u003e Between October 2016 and May 2017, 100,000 department store workers lost their jobs.\u003cbr\u003e That's more than the total number of workers in the coal industry in the United States combined.\u003cbr\u003e The New York Times published the following article in April 2017:\u003cbr\u003e \"The loss of retail jobs could have unforeseen social and political consequences, as a massive number of low-wage retail workers would become economically insecure, much as manufacturing workers have been in recent decades.\" (p. 60)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This led to a decline in shoppers, which ultimately led to the closure of numerous offline stores.\u003cbr\u003e The emergence of autonomous robots also puts delivery workers' jobs at risk. \u003cbr\u003eAndrew Yang says that as of 2016, the largest job losses were seen in office and administrative occupations, which employ the most people in the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “McKinsey estimates that 64 to 69 percent of data collection and processing, the most common administrative tasks, can be automated.\u003cbr\u003e Google, Apple, and Amazon are pouring billions of dollars into developing AI administrative assistants that can do this job.\u003cbr\u003e There are many jobs like this in large companies.\u003cbr\u003e “When the next economic crisis hits, they will try to replace human workers by combining software, bots, and artificial intelligence.” (pp. 56-57)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The phenomenon of replacing human resources with technology is also becoming visible in Korea.\u003cbr\u003e The closest example is the introduction of unmanned checkout counters in many fast food restaurants and supermarkets, eliminating the need for people to directly take orders or assist with payments.\u003cbr\u003e It can be seen that to that extent, human jobs have disappeared.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSo, have the unemployed found new jobs? Andrew Yang's research shows that they are stuck in unemployment.\u003cbr\u003e In the United States, companies that prioritize efficiency above all else have either already replaced jobs with technology or are now demanding far more skills from job applicants than were required in their previous jobs.\u003cbr\u003e This gap is not something that can be filled by completing government programs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In reality, many of them have dropped out of the economically active population.\u003cbr\u003e According to a 2012 survey by the Department of Labor, 41 percent of manufacturing workers who lost their jobs between 2009 and 2011 either failed to find work by then or were out of the labor market within three years of losing their jobs. \u003cbr\u003e(…) Of the 200,000 transportation equipment and primary metals manufacturing workers who lost their jobs in Indiana between 2003 and 2014, 44 percent had no record of receiving any paychecks by 2014, and only 3 percent of them had graduated from college in the interim.\u003cbr\u003e The study report said, \"Few people are returning to school to study, and few seem to be taking advantage of the numerous government programs supporting unemployed workers.\"\u003cbr\u003e (Pages 75-76)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“What should we choose in a reality where jobs are disappearing?”\u003cbr\u003e _ Realizing human capitalism that makes technology work for humans\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The Ordinary Man's War\" also vividly depicts the impact on society and families as artificial intelligence, robotics, and automated software threaten the livelihoods of millions of Americans. \u003cbr\u003eThe repercussions of unemployment are already manifesting in communities across the country in the form of political unrest, drug use, and other social ills.\u003cbr\u003e But government agencies and leaders are failing to respond effectively to the new reality.\u003cbr\u003e Most politicians are vaguely turning a blind eye to the reality of mass unemployment, leaving it to the \"invisible hand of the market\"—i.e., corporations—and these corporations are only accelerating mass unemployment to cut costs.\u003cbr\u003e Andrew Yang is furious at this reality, saying, “Uber’s essence is to transport passengers efficiently at the lowest cost, not to create jobs.”\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, I argue that we should all encourage the government to redefine work as a means of earning a living, rather than as a primary value, given its \"spiritual and social benefits.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e . \u003cbr\u003eExcept for a few wealthy states, many states in the United States where blue-collar or manufacturing industries have declined have been reduced to rubble, and many neighborhoods are filled with unemployed white men staying home during the day.\u003cbr\u003e Just like in the movie [Mad Max], the neighborhood scenery is becoming more brutal, and people are becoming addicted to alcohol and drugs, domestic violence is on the rise, and various mental illnesses and social maladjustments are being mass-produced.\u003cbr\u003e It is clear that the future of children growing up in such families will be bleak.\u003cbr\u003e Andrew Yang is the author of the best-selling JD, which stirred up American society in 2017.\u003cbr\u003e Citing Vance's \"Hillbilly Elegy,\" he argues that the same anxiety and fear that Vance experienced as a child in an unstable home environment will have a serious negative impact on children's futures.\u003cbr\u003e And if this phenomenon spreads to the middle class, he says, social chaos will be uncontrollable. \u003cbr\u003eIn fact, some Silicon Valley billionaires are said to have even built personal bunkers to protect themselves from riots by angry commoners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So, in this era of job loss, what should we prepare for our lives and our children's future? Andrew Yang predicts that occupations requiring interpersonal skills, such as \"people management, highly specialized jobs, and jobs that mitigate conflicts by interacting face-to-face with stakeholders,\" will survive in the future.\u003cbr\u003e They say that our education system must change now, and cannot help but change, because these jobs will prioritize \"empathy, creativity, and judgment\" over \"the ability to memorize and analyze more facts.\"\u003cbr\u003e Economically, it also advocates a future where work and money do not necessarily need to be linked. \u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of this vision is universal basic income.\u003cbr\u003e The concept of a universal basic income, which would provide a guaranteed income to all citizens, is rapidly spreading among politicians and economists concerned about the future.\u003cbr\u003e Andrew Yang says universal basic income is an essential tool for moving towards a new sustainable economy.\u003cbr\u003e He calls this new economy “human capitalism.”\u003cbr\u003e The author, who calls himself a “fervent capitalist,” argues that “instead of humans working for the market as they do now, we need to make the market work for humans.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The logic of a 'ability-based society' is leading us to destruction.\u003cbr\u003e Because in those words, we are already all prepared to ignore the voices of millions of people caught in the whirlwind of automation and innovation and left in economic distress. \u003cbr\u003eWe think they are complaining or suffering because they are losers.\u003cbr\u003e We must break this market logic before it's too late.\u003cbr\u003e We all need to hurry and change society so that we can live better lives than we do now.\u003cbr\u003e We need to find new ways to make society work regardless of the value the market places on each of us.\u003cbr\u003e We are people whose worth should not be judged by the amount written on our paychecks.\u003cbr\u003e (Page 17)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The job war with cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence is a phenomenon that is gradually becoming visible in Korean society.\u003cbr\u003e However, because it is happening gradually, many people do not know the exact cause and severity.\u003cbr\u003e All of us ordinary people are already engaged in a war against machines for jobs. \u003cbr\u003eThere is a difference between being at the front where you feel the full impact and being at the back where you only feel the subtle changes.\u003cbr\u003e Technological advancements have the potential to take away our jobs overnight, leaving us no time to prepare.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, we must start thinking about strategies for future changes from now on.\u003cbr\u003e The core value of this book is to provide an opportunity to make clearer decisions about what we should choose for our own and our children's future. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
