Abstract

What are the implications of persistently decreasing L-content of various product baskets? What happens to employment across the economy? Can the law of decreasing labor content (ldlc) proceed to the near elimination of labor in production? What are the limits to the rate of decreasing L-content? How does this rate relate to conventional measures of labor productivity – based on monetary value added per worker-hour? These are the key questions we address in this chapter. Standard economic theory, in contrast, provides very little insight as to why the growth of monetary value added per worker-hour for a firm, or collection of firms, should be limited.
