## Resource

I sat down with Jordi Visser to discuss a historically new phenomenon: economic growth without job growth—and what artificial intelligence means for the future of work, capital, and capitalism itself.We discuss I why economic growth is increasingly happening without job creation and what artificial intelligence means for the future of work and capitalism.
