Books like Against the dead hand by Brink Lindsey
Brink Lindsey’s *Against the Dead Hand* examines the enduring influence of the collectivist dream of central planning on contemporary globalization. By weaving historical narrative, analytical argument, and on-the-scene reporting, the book traces the rise and fall of top‑down economic control and shows how its remnants— the so-called "dead hand"—continue to constrain current global economic dynamics. Lindsey presents a clearer picture of the world economy’s present state and offers a framework for anticipating its future direction.

Jeremy Rifkin argues that we are entering a new phase in history - one characterized by the steady and inevitable decline of jobs. The world, says Rifkin, is fast polarizing into two potentially irreconcilable forces: on one side, an information elite that controls and manages the high-tech global economy; and on the other, the growing numbers displaced workers, who have few prospects and little hope for meaningful employment in an increasingly automated world.
The end of work could mean the demise of civilization as we have come to know it, or signal the beginning of a great social transformation and a rebirth of the human spirit.
