About the Author:
Ryan Avent is a senior editor and economics columnist for The Economist, where he has covered the global economy since 2007. His work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the New Republic, the Atlantic and the Guardian. He lives in Arlington, Virginia with his wife, two children and golden retriever.
Review:
Avent is a fluent writer who takes complex ideas and works them, like Plasticine, into vivid models ... The Wealth of Humans stands favourable comparison with Capital in the 21st Century by Thomas Piketty -- Martin Vander Weyer Telegraph Compelling and troubling... In popular commentary on the future, there is an unhelpful view that one day each of us will turn up at work and find a robot sitting in our chairs. Avent's alternative account, of a slow but persistent decline in the importance of work and a fractious search for a new political settlement, is immeasurably more plausible -- Daniel Susskind Sunday Times An important argument on a subject that will shape the coming decades -- Duncan Weldon Prospect Intelligent, honest and clear -- Christopher Caldwell Literary Review
