520    Today's great paradox is that we feel the impact of 
       technology everywhere - in our cars, our phones, the 
       supermarket, the doctor's office - but not in our 
       paychecks. In the past, technological advancements 
       dramatically increased wages, but for three decades now, 
       the median wage has remained stagnant. Machines have taken
       over much of the work of humans, destroying old jobs while
       increasing profits for business owners. The threat of ever
       -widening economic inequality looms, but in Learning by 
       Doing, James Bessen argues that increased inequality is 
       not inevitable. Workers can benefit by acquiring the 
       knowledge and skills necessary to implement rapidly 
       evolving technologies; unfortunately, this can take years,
       even decades. Technical knowledge is mostly unstandardized
       and difficult to acquire, learned through job experience 
       rather than in the classroom. As Bessen explains, the 
       right policies are necessary to provide strong incentives 
       for learning on the job. Politically influential interests
       have moved policy in the wrong direction recently. Based 
       on economic history well as analysis of today's labor 
       markets, his book shows a way to restore broadly shared 
       prosperity. -- from dust jacket.
