Technological Unemployment and a Theoretical Solution to its Imposing Threats

Joshua Curtis Wolff

The following paper seeks to offer a new political movement known as panhumanism as a potential solution tothe catastrophe that technological employment could impose locally in the United States and on a global scale. Inthe past 300 years, we have seen revolutions in technology and class structure. These accelerations in technologicaladvancement and social stratification are transforming the society in which we currently live. Technologicalunemployment, once termed a fallacy and misinterpretation of economics, is becoming a reality with every dayof advancement. Both arguments for and against the validity of technological unemployment are explored. Thefinding is that the current pace of technological advance will result in a degree of automation to the extent that theadvancement results in a net job loss. The response to such a setting must not be a movement against technology;contrarily, this paper seeks to find a harmony between the global economy, government, and citizen by defining amovement known as panhumanism, which seeks to promote the use of technology so as to empower the individualhuman in the political process and in daily life.
