2018 Book "The Future of
Work: Robots, AI, and Automation" (Brookings Press)
Robots, artificial intelligence, and driverless cars are
no longer fantasy, but are with us today and will become
increasingly common in coming years. As these tools
advance deeper into everyday use, how will they transform
society, the economy, and politics? In this book, West
argues that society needs to rethink the concept of work,
reconfigure the social contract, move toward lifetime
learning, and develop a new kind of politics that can deal
with economic dislocations.
