I doubt there has been any time within the lifetime of anyone on hacker news where people have not worried about jobs being taken by robots. (And sometimes by other people). I don't think the "theory" of globalization has an impact on that. There is an economic theory -- acknowledged in the article -- that people, given education, will find the jobs that are created. Is there any reason to believe this economic theory does not hold? This article seems to claim that politically, the idea has lost currency but the real question is: what is the reality? Can we educate people into jobs or not?
