What happens in a world where the world population continues to shrink, where two empires face record high budget deficits, where people are faced with eroding values and hyper-financialization during another Industrial Revolution?
I’ve been diving into a Liquid Labor framework (liquid-labor.com), it’s a departure from traditional labor economics. It moves us away from measuring GDP via human headcounts and toward a National Autonomous Work Index (NAWI) treating machine hours as liquid labor with perfect elasticity of labor.
In this model, robotics isn’t just an efficiency gain; it’s the conversion of energy into a liquid labor reserve that can be deployed with perfect elasticity either as a policy or as a business model Robots as a Service(RaaS.)
I believe the industries of nations that successfully build a reserve of autonomous hours will survive a Great Stagnation. Those who rely on shrinking human labor pools will face a terminal liquidity crisis.
I believe this will lead to greater centralization as no single nation or business will be able to sustain the amount of depreciation ensued. Any honest feedback or thoughts more than welcome. https://www.liquid-labor.com/
