Anyone got a link to any proper discussion?

I can't help but feel arguments about how high degrees of automation will lead to mass unemployment are almost reframed Luddite fallacy arguments. I mean compare the amount of automation now to 250 years ago, and we don't have mass unemployment.

I was wrong to say Chinese consumers, but it's not to say there aren't things American could produce. I mean Chinese use Google/Facebook/Youtube/Starcraft.

I mean in manufacturing, if you look in Chinese factory often their machines will have been made by Japanese and German companies.

Umm, quite interesting till the last paragraph:

"The reality is this: Big American companies may never rehire large numbers of workers. And they won’t even begin to think about hiring until they know American consumers will buy their products. The problem is, American consumers won’t start buying against until they know they have reliable paychecks."

I'm not sure they is any link between hiring US workers and what US consumers are buying. I mean plenty of stuff is made my Chinese workers that is purchased by American consumers. Why couldn't it go back the other way?
