New paper by Acemoglu et al. on how automation may ultimately undermine democracy. As automation (think AI) shifts income from workers to capital, containing the risk of revolt requires ever more redistribution, making repression more attractive to the capitalist state.

New from me: Until recently, the gap between comfortably-off and just-getting-started could plausibly be crossed in a decade or two of hard work. Growth in asset prices means that’s no longer true: even a lifetime of striving doesn’t offer a realistic prospect of feeling you’ve “made it”.

Global population growth peaked six decades ago— The increase in the world’s population is not exponential. The global population is growing, but the growth rate has declined since its peak six decades ago.

Interesting new Acemoglu, Autor et al paper. Lower birth rates have not reduced economic growth; they are linked to higher GDP per working-age adult across countries and higher wage growth across US commuting zones. Mechanism: a labor-saving technological response to the scarcity of younger workers.
