In this book, world-renowned scholar Jeremy Rifkin once again demonstrates his remarkable insight into technological change and the resulting structural changes in the global economy and society. \u003cbr\u003eRifkin's prediction that technological advancement would create a large number of unemployed people proved to be correct.\u003cbr\u003e The revised edition, published after the first edition, includes a preface containing Rifkin's insights into the future of work.\u003cbr\u003e Since “The End of Work,” the author has shown keen insight into future society through works such as “The End of Ownership” and “The Hydrogen Revolution.”\u003cbr\u003e In the preface to the revised edition, he presents to readers the sharper perspective he has developed while organizing these previous works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The End of Work\" argues that advanced technology, the information society, and management innovation are not enriching human lives, but rather eliminating jobs.\u003cbr\u003e Some new jobs will be created, but most of them will be low-wage, temporary positions. \u003cbr\u003eThis will accelerate the polarization of society, and a society with deep polarization is more likely to fall into a dystopia (a defective society) rather than a technologically advanced utopia, is Rifkin's diagnosis of the future society.\u003cbr\u003e To overcome the global labor crisis, Rifkin emphasizes the need for voluntary organizations and labor promotion to provide services necessary for community maintenance and reconstruction, and calls for a fundamental shift in humanity's thinking and a decisive decision regarding the true meaning of labor.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e

they can make a significant contribution to creating social capital in a civil society that dreams of a great leap forward for humanity in the coming century.\u003cbr\u003e What is required now is the

promise a world with virtually no workers in the coming century, a long-held dream.\u003cbr\u003e Ironically, the closer we seem to be to the dream of a technological utopia, the more we see a future of flawed societies (dystopias).\u003cbr\u003e This is because market forces continue to create only production and profit without any thought given to creating additional leisure time for the

The 21st century is the age of the silicon collar worker.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Will the 21st century be a technological utopia or a gloomy dystopia?\u003cbr\u003e This book is a rebuttal to Toffler's optimistic outlook on the 21st century information society.\u003cbr\u003e This is because layoffs and mass unemployment caused by the information society and management innovation following advanced technology are heralding the end of labor worldwide, regardless of whether it is blue-collar or white-collar.\u003cbr\u003e The era of silicone-collar workers has already begun.\u003cbr\u003e Is the 21st century truly a century of hope or a century of destruction?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this challenging, somewhat bleak, but ultimately very informative book, Rifkin argues that we are entering a historical transition in which human labor is slowly and inevitably declining.\u003cbr\u003e Global unemployment is now at its highest level since the Great Depression of the 1930s. \u003cbr\u003eMore than 800 million people worldwide are unemployed or potentially unemployed.\u003cbr\u003e The main characters that are driving human labor to the brink of death are advanced technology, the information society, and management innovation.\u003cbr\u003e According to Rifkin, once a job is lost, it never comes back.\u003cbr\u003e Most of the jobs that are created are low-wage and temporary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This rapidly polarizes the world into two irreconcilable forces.\u003cbr\u003e On one side is the information elite who control and manage the high-tech global economy, and on the other is the vast mass of permanently unemployed, completely unnecessary and hopeless in an increasingly automated world.\u003cbr\u003e Rifkin's diagnosis of the global economic order is that the coexistence of these two irreconcilable groups on Earth makes humanity more likely to fall into a dystopia (a defective society) rather than a technological utopia.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eClassics in the fields of futurology, economics, and sociology\u003cbr\u003e A must-read for those living in the era he predicted.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since the publication of this book, Rifkin has published a series of works filled with outstanding insight, including The End of Ownership, The European Dream, and The Age of Empathy, establishing himself as a unique author who covers a wide range of fields, including futurology, economics, and sociology.\u003cbr\u003e \"The End of Work\" has been used as a textbook in over 300 universities around the world for over a decade, and is also used as a textbook for major and liberal arts courses at many universities in Korea.\u003cbr\u003e As is typical of Rifkin's writings, this book presents his characteristically clear arguments and rigorous logic.\u003cbr\u003e For this reason, sentences from this book often appear in essay tests and textbooks.\u003cbr\u003e The reason Rifkin's insights do not age with the passage of time lies in their outstanding logic.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe 2020s we are facing is the very 'future' that Rifkin predicted in this book.\u003cbr\u003e Rifkin's point resonates even more deeply today because we are witnessing and experiencing firsthand the changing work environment and job paradigm.\u003cbr\u003e The alternative Rifkin proposes to prevent this society from heading toward a dystopian future is even more urgent for us in this age.\u003cbr\u003e The insights Rifkin explores in his recent books, The Global Green New Deal, The Zero Marginal Cost Society, and The Third Industrial Revolution, are all extensions of The End of Work.\u003cbr\u003e Rifkin has always been keenly aware of the emergence of new technologies and structural changes in society.\u003cbr\u003e This book is a starting point for assessing the trajectory of Rifkin's thought, and is a must-read for readers who wish to follow that trajectory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book is divided into five parts. \u003cbr\u003ePart 1: Two Aspects of Technology examines the current technological revolution to understand its impact on employment and the global economy.\u003cbr\u003e Part 2, The Third Industrial Revolution, examines how early automation innovations impacted the lives of Black workers and unions in the United States, providing context for the debate over technology and employment.\u003cbr\u003e Their experiences could be a precursor to the future of countless service and white-collar workers, middle managers, and professional employees.\u003cbr\u003e In Part 3, The Decline of the Global Workforce, Rifkin details how massive technological and organizational changes in agriculture, manufacturing, and the service sector are drastically reducing the number of workers. \u003cbr\u003ePart 4, The Price of Progress, examines in detail the ripple effects of the Third Industrial Revolution on the global workforce, simultaneously assessing the impact of the new technological revolution on both industrialized and developing countries.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, we note the uncomfortable correlation between the rise in technological unemployment and the rise in crime and violence.\u003cbr\u003e It describes the conflict between groups that have formed a lawless subculture due to poverty and despair, and the government that seeks to provide order and safety to the citizens, and the ways in which they can be addressed.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, in Part 5: The Dawn of the Post-Market Era, we examine some practical steps needed to address productivity gains as part of efforts to mitigate the effects of massive technological substitution and to reap the benefits of the high-tech revolution. \u003cbr\u003eRifkin concludes the book by discussing how to renew human values ​​and social relations, and how to formalize the post-market paradigm and enable a transition from a market-oriented perspective to a new third sector perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The final five parts are Rifkin's alternatives to the pessimistic outlook.\u003cbr\u003e What is needed is a new alternative and approach that transcends the threat of technological advancement inherent in a market economy and opens up a post-market era.\u003cbr\u003e It is a new paradigm that fairly distributes the benefits of technological advancements to their victims and strengthens the emerging third sector.\u003cbr\u003e That is, to encourage and value voluntary organizations and labor that provide the services necessary for maintaining and rebuilding communities. \u003cbr\u003eA new social contract is needed to strengthen the third sector, as evidenced by terms like “shadow wages for volunteering” and “social wages for community services.”\u003cbr\u003e This requires new roles for governments, private businesses, and even working people.\u003cbr\u003e According to Rifkin, this social economy, which is not based solely on productivity, will allow us to rediscover human spirits such as intimacy, brotherly solidarity, and the spirit of service, and will initiate a great transformation toward a new society.\u003cbr\u003e This book provides an opportunity to reflect on how seriously our society, obsessed with blind competition and productivity growth, is considering and preparing for the rising unemployment and accompanying problems brought about by technological advancement.
