Robots could take millions of people's jobs causing a revival in COMMUNISM, Mark Carney warns
The Governor of the Bank of England has warned that the rise of robots in the workplace could cause a revival in Communism and 19th-century wage stagnation. Mark Carney, 53, said automation of millions of jobs would result in more support of Communist ideas within a generation. 'Marx and Engels may again become relevant' if mechanisation forces down pay and raises inequality, he warned. To alleviate the damage, Carney suggested workers should train for jobs that require higher emotional intelligence, for example in care and leisure. Speaking at the Canada Growth Summit in Toronto, Carney said there will be vast inequalities between workers who benefit from AI and those who have their job wiped out by it.
