Inventing Ourselves Out of Jobs: America's Debate over Technological Unemployment, 1929-1981 (review)
Amy Bix's fine book, carefully researched and gracefully written, surveys the extent of everyday hardship during the Great Depression. She concentrates on the debates over technological unemployment in the United States, debates that were "entwined with particular musings about the meaning of American history, the western frontier, and a sense of national destiny" (p. 8). She convincingly describes the lives and emotions of employed and unemploye…
"A "Wastage of Men: Technological Progress and Unemployment in the United States
During the depression of the 1890s, cyclical instability of employment became an acknowledged phenomenon, but the long-term displacement of labor due to technological progress was not yet perceived to be a threat.

The huge productivity increases of the 1920's had sizable labour‐displacing effects, which were not matched by the job‐creating trends of prosperity. Unemployment was therefore a sizable and observable phenomenon as early as the late 1920's, while manufacturing employment shrank. After 1929, it was found that …
