People have been making this very argument for 150 years. It intensifies around times of more-rapid developments in productivity. But it’s never been correct. People think it is when they can imagine only an economy that wants just the goods and services currently provided, but nothing more. They assume that humans will not demand increasing comforts and wider ranges of products.

If, in 1910, you looked around America and said there’s no way that today’s farm workers will be able to live, because given the amount of wheat and salted pork America needs, the tractors will replace all of them.

Our appetites for variety expanded. This happens in all sectors.

There were no occupational therapists in 1910.
