      ab: The article discusses the relationship between technological change and income distribution, as of 2014. The author suggests that political factors such as neoliberal economic policies are less important in bringing about the recent rise in income inequality than is often thought. He discusses characteristics of digital technology that he says inherently worsen inequality by replacing many prior forms of work. The book "The Second Machine Age" by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee is cited.
