Elizabeth Baker asked these questions in 1930. Have we answered them? #EconSky #econhist

Excerpt from a discussant comment by Elizabeth Baker at the 1930 American Economic Association Annual Meeting. Baker commented: "Questions such as these must be answered before we know what is before us in alleviating the unemployment results of mechanization, before we can check repercussion [sic] of these results upon society. To what extent is technological unemployment an interruption in the continuity of employment? How frequently do these occur in the working life of an individual? How long do they last, and how do they affect social and economic status?"
