Read our special report “On Tech Unemployment and the Labor vs Capital

https://lifeboat.com/ex/on.tech.unemployment
Capital needs labor to operate, to create a return on investment and,
ultimately, to grow. Labor needs capital for wages. Each needs the other
and none can do it alone. So labor needs capital as much as capital
needs labor. And, while the labor vs capital balance of power has
fluctuated closer to one or the other throughout history, classical
economics claims that, given their mutual co-dependence, in the long
run, we end up (more-or-less) in an equilibrium. This equilibrium is, at
least in theory, an ideal win-win scenario where capital is happy that
its return on investment is growing and labor is happy that its wages
are rising…
