Abstract

The previous chapters of this book have analyzed several different concepts and developments crucial to technological progress in recent years such as the Network Society, automation, digitization, and the platform economy. A special focus was put on sharing economy platforms and their impact on the future of work in the USA. In recent years, the term future of work seems to encompass a lot of the questions around and consequences of the impact of technology on the world of work, both negative and positive. The future of work has emerged as a crucial topic in academia and as well as in the public and can be found in many articles and publications around the topic of technological progress. In the following, this book moves on from tracing the developments of technological progress including more recent trends in the digital realm and the impact of technology on income inequality and the labor market in the USA to the discourse around the future of work that is prevalent in the USA today.
