«La machine et le chômage» is Alfred Sauvy's essay on economics and technology, published by Hachette in paperback (383 pages, in French).
Alfred Sauvy argues that technical progress destroys jobs in the short term but creates more in the long term. Greater productivity makes products cheaper or raises wages, boosts consumption and shifts work towards other sectors, a phenomenon he calls «déversement». He advocates making the labor market more flexible to facilitate this transition.
Subtitled «Le progrès technique et l'emploi», it is part of the Pluriel collection and includes a foreword by Wassily Leontief, Nobel Prize winner in Economics.
A reference work for students of labor economics and for readers interested in the impact of automation on employment.
