Slump Looms In Economy, Briton Warns
The U.S. is in store for a major economic depression before the end of this decade, Robert Theobald, a British socio-economist, said last night.
He predicted that because of this loss of middle class jobs due to cybernation, the gap between the rich and the poor will widen in this country.
Theobald spoke before 135 social workers as a part of the "Social Work Day" activities. His topic was "Cybernation: Threat and Promise."
Looking into the future of computers, Theobald said more compact and powerful computers will be seen by 1975. He said there are about 26,000 computers operating in this country now.
"Jobs will soon become more expensive and machinery will be cheaper." he said.
Theobald also expressed the opinion that the minimum wage system had failed. He said it would be difficult to raise it much more.
He defined cybernetism as machinery controlled by computers instead of people.
He said that in the future more middle income jobs will be lost because of cybernation than blue collar jobs.
Theobald proposed a guaranteed income of $1,000 a year for every person. He said that if a person cannot earn this income, the government should pay him enough to come up to this level.
