Dyer warns of a world shaped by automation not war
Gwynne Dyer compares 2016 to a prewar era of upheaval driven by automation and globalization. He argues Trump’s labor picks won’t restore lost jobs, cites seven million lost since 1979, and highlights AI and robots as the main disruptors. He contends Europe faces rising populism, and proposes Universal Basic Income as a stabilizer for displaced workers.
