James Bessen examines the historical evolution of the labor market to challenge the assumption that technological advancement inherently leads to widespread wage stagnation. By analyzing the critical role of specialized skills and on-the-job training, the author provides a nuanced perspective on how innovation shapes wealth distribution and the long-term economic prospects of the modern workforce.
