Summary: Capitalism, the Technological Revolution and the Working Class is a collection of eleven essays by six Soviet economists. Each essay presents a study of the economic effects of scientific and technological change on labor markets in the "capitalist zone" of the world. The primary theme running throughout the volume concerns the displacement and unemployment of workers caused by technological advancement. The authors present "case studies" of the problems faced by the working class in seven industrialized nations (Britain, Italy, West Germany, Spain, France, Japan, and the United States) currently experiencing the modem technological revolution. The authors' views on the failure of capitalism to cope with technological change are very clear. Given today's political climate and the monumental changes occurring in the Soviet Union, these views appear to be anachronistic.
