| | Technology, Jobs and Inequality |
 | | Whether technology is 7% responsible, or 25% responsible, is a significant difference, with large implications for policy and remedies. |
 | | Throughout the decades of the Cold War, U.S. science and technology policy was not only dominated by military priorities, but also by a model of decision-making that relied exclusively on experts and the "high priests" of academia, think-tanks, the military-industrial complex, and government. |
 | | To reform technology so that it helps turn back the trend toward greater inequality, we need to understand the social content of technological developments, and once we understand that, we can begin to reconfigure technology so that it serves everyone equally, instead of rewarding only the few. |
