What does the author show about the adoption of new technologies?

  • The author shows how the adoption of new technologies allows for an increase in social inequality in the short term.
  • This is because these technologies update the forms of work, leaving many obsolete, which causes an increase in unemployment and social inequality.

However, the author shows that this technological advance generates more wealth for the country, as it increases the productive capacity, which consequently increases income, which can be distributed more equally, reducing the differences between social classes.
