Instead, Benanav argues that the real culprit is economic stagnation, exacerbated by industrial overcapacity and insufficient demand. The book examines the historical and economic factors that contribute to this stagnation, shedding light on how the economy&rsquo;s structural dynamics shape employment patterns and societal impacts. Benanav&rsquo;s analysis critiques the optimism surrounding technological determinism and proposes a more nuanced understanding of the challenges and possibilities facing the workforce.</p>
