Review: Compelling read! - Power and Progress by Simon Johnson is a compelling exploration of how technological change shapes prosperity and who actually benefits from it. He argues that innovation does not automatically deliver broad-based progress; it must be intentionally guided toward inclusive outcomes. This book is a clear, insightful reminder that society has the power to choose technologies that lift people up rather than leave them behind.

good book and deserve to read again and again. Learnt a lot

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent review of the history of technology and a manifesto-like criticism of AI
*by A***M on November 9, 2023*

The book reviews several cases in the history of technology where only the wealthy people enjoyed improving the technology while the status of the workers was worsened. It claims that we are in a similar situation following the application of automation and AI. I enjoyed reading the chapters about history very much but found the manifesto-like chapters at the end of the book less convincing. An excellent review of the history of technology and a manifesto-like criticism of AI
