The New Republic | Pope Leo’s Vital Message About Work in the Age of AI by Timothy Noah
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Timothy Noah’s article highlights Pope Leo XIV’s new encyclical, which re‑asserts the “dignity of labor” as essential to human identity at a time when AI and billionaire technocrats—exemplified by Elon Musk’s vision of a work‑free future—are promoting the elimination of many jobs as a societal boon. Noah explains that, for the pope, work is more than a means of subsistence; it shapes personal development, community contribution, and cultural vitality, and its removal would cause “anthropological regression” and deepen social inequality. He situates the pope’s message within a broader historical tradition, citing Keynes’s early‑20th‑century prediction of leisure, past papal teachings on labor, and civil‑rights rhetoric from figures like Martin Luther King Jr., while warning that without a renewed respect for labor’s dignity, AI‑driven profit concentration will exacerbate poverty and undermine social peace.

Fino agli anni Trenta del secolo scorso il mainstream della teoria economica si basava sull'assioma del mercato capitalistico che si autoregola, ottimizzando le risorse disponibili. L'economista ribaltò il quadro. Meno conosciuta è però la sua visione di un modello alternativo, libero dalla "signoria del dollaro" e controcorrente rispetto al rapporto tra progresso tecnologico e orario di lavoro. L'intervento di Tonino Perna
The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping the old ones, which ramify... into every corner of our minds.
-- John Maynard Keynes
