Automation of Work - Our Finances, Emotional Wellbeing. Will Robots and AI Put Us All Out of Work?

For today’s episode I am joined by returning guest Adam Trent.


Adam and I discuss the automation of work and its impact on our
finances and emotional wellbeing. Will the world need for labour
run out thanks to automation? What will happen to our dignity and
wealth if the cost of labour goes to zero? Are governments and
central banks making things worse or better?  Should I move
to Mexico or invest in bitcoin?
