Capital vs. Labor

Written by Ingemar Anderson with the help of  GPT-3, an  artificial intelligence model. The growth rate of capital versus the increase of salary and wages over time is a topic, which is of great interest to many economists and sociologists.  The interest in this topic has been increasing as of late due to the past economic recessions. The share of income received by the top 1% of US households has grown from 10% in 1979 to 22% in 2007. The share of income received by the bottom 90% of US households has decreased from 60% in 1979 to 46% in 2007. One of the major factors which have contributed to this is the decreasing share of GDP which goes to labor. In 1973, labor received 61% of GDP, while in 2007 it received only 54%. The gap between workers and their bosses has been increasing. Labor has been getting less and less of the pie of the money that is generated and the share of GDP that is going to labor has been declining. One of the major questions that are being asked is...

Will people in the middle class ever evolve to become sophisticated investors or will they ultimately be replaced by AI?

Written by Ingemar Anderson with the help of  GPT-3, an  artificial intelligence model. Technology has always helped to make the lives of the working class easier. This is a good thing because the working classes are working for the upper classes.  However, now that technology has advanced so far, the working classes might be taken over by it. This is a bad thing because the lower classes will end up having nothing. The working class might never evolve to become capitalists because, today, they are not granted the same opportunities as those with money, those who learned how to create and manage capital. Capitalism can create inequality and those with money are not always willing to share it with those without, which is why they will eventually be replaced by AI. So, the working class might not evolve to become capitalists because they could be replaced by AI. In Thomas Piketty's book, "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" he discusses if the working class might be replac...
