Gregory La Blanc
Lecturer, Berkeley-Haas
The rise of Uber, Airbnb and other "platforms" is part of a larger digital transformation of businesses, converting products into services, changing fixed into variable costs, shortening supply chains and development cycles, allowing for more flexibility and customization of products and pricing. All of this is made possible by lower costs of gathering, storing, retrieving, and analyzing data. Although there is much that is new in this transformation, there are many historical similarities with previous industrial revolutions. They all have at their core innovations in the organization of information that lead to more efficient allocation in the production process. This talk will explore the origins and nature of these innovations.

Lower cost =lower wages or rather eliminate labour of humans altogether replace them with robots even better is what the ultimate aim is. Only use them as slaves at lowest hourly rate for what their machines can’t do like task rabbits

You view it wrong way. With the more effective systems the resources will free up to create and achieve more results in different other areas or just because we can spend 3 or 4 times less we can than feed 3 or 4 times more as a society without loosing the life quality for anyone!

The only thing humans worth should be measured by is time therefore one rate per hour for any work performed. According to anybody’s abilities the lifetime total available hours for labour should not be decided by any accounting tricks but rather by how much is their cost of living per day and that’s the wage rate for all labour performed. The guy that comes from task rabbit to drill your hole for you should be rewarded at the same rate as you receive for talking to a group of people. At least you have a hole to use after his effort.
