Abstract

Ever since Ricardo's famous remarks in 1821 and the ensuing debate, economists have recognized the two-edged nature of technical change: that it both destroys old jobs and creates new ones. In general, economists have argued that the job creation effects have, in the long run, outstripped the job destruction effects, albeit accompanied by a steady reduction in working hours throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
