Over the past four decades, #automation has increased productivity and multiplied corporate profits, but it has not led to shared prosperity in industrialized countries.In many #OECD economies, we have seen an increase in #income taxes and a decrease in #capital taxes.This system incentivizes companies to invest more in automation than in job-creating technologies. Corporate tax rates have plummeted to 25%; the #tax for workers decreased only 1.3 % to 34.9% https://english.elpais.com/technology/2025-11-30/if-ai-replaces-workers-should-it-also-pay-taxes.html
