Economics, History & Technology Research Paper: The Impact of Historical and Ongoing Technological Advances on Economic Inequality
My research paper investigates the intricate relationship between recent technological innovations and the growing divide in economic inequality. As we've seen the digital economy expand, areas such as automation and AI have notably changed job landscapes and wealth distribution. However, while these advancements have led to significant efficiency gains, they've also resulted in benefits that aren't equally shared across society. This has, in turn, intensified economic disparities both within countries and on a global scale.
