The Richest Man in the World: A parable on structural unemployment and a basic income

[Paul D. Fernhout]

Here is my first big youtube video on working towards a more "open source
planet" that works for everyone. It's a little over five minutes long:
"The Richest Man in the World: A parable on structural unemployment and a
basic income"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p14bAe6AzhA
"A parable about robotics, abundance, technological change, unemployment,
happiness, and a basic income."

That parable and video was directly inspired by this:
"Structural Unemployment: The Economists Just Don�t Get It"

The biggest challenge of the 21st century is the irony of technologies of
abundance in the hands of those thinking in terms of scarcity.
