Automation under capitalism or Automation under socialism? The differences would be life changing and could manifest in various ways. How could automation impact our lives? Who will own the robots? In this video we explore four possible futures. However, these futures could intersect and we may not just get one of them, as some of the futures are highly related to each other and are already relevant to capitalist societies today. This video analyzes the relationship between automation, post-scarcity, climate change, and political economy using Peter Frase’s book titled “Four Futures: Life After Capitalism“ among other works.
