Abstract
"Short-term unemployment trends are likely . . . But far more critical are the long-term dangers of drastic population bipolarization. This would appear to generate a small minority of technologically oriented elitists against a vast majority of unskilled, nearly unemployable workers. This event, predicted by some and doubted by others, would probably represent the end of the road for contemporary Western civilization as now understood" (1)
