Reimagining work and wealth through public stewardship of technology

The Automatic System offers a bold, reform-minded plan that links machinery, labor, and government in one coherent approach. It argues that modern advances can lift ordinary people when the state guides production, wages, and money toward broad-based prosperity.

In clear terms, the book lays out how government oversight of labor-saving machinery, a targeted tax system, and universal pensions could democratize profits and stabilize employment. It argues for practical steps to keep industries competitive while ensuring workers share in the gains from mechanization and innovation.

A coordinated vision of how machines, wages, and public policy can work together
A detailed approach to funding universal pensions and distributing benefits
Mechanisms to prevent wealth from concentrating and to keep trade fair
The idea of publicly guided ownership and taxation to support broad economic health

Ideal for readers curious about economic reform, social policy, and how technology could reshape everyday life.
