great to see someone post a link to this site. it's by matt fair of canada, who has been producing work related to this theme for about twenty years. this site contains a portion of his life's work.
it also links to his audio collages, which are available on a 6 CD set. this is, i would say, important work to listen to. he has been culling audio from radio and other sources for twenty years, and his CD's represent twenty years of continually composing this material.
the first CD has the following table of contents:
1. Advance of Technology 2. World of Unemployment 3. Decline of the Individual 4. What We're Doing to the Children 5. Hate, Murder and Social Ambition 6. Prisons
the basic observation he culls from the audio, made by many people, is that employment is declining. this is not a temporary phenomenon. machines continue to replace workers of many kinds. consequently, many people are either unemployed or are forever marooned in low-level service employment. this includes many well-educated people, not simply the relatively uneducated.
so what is to be done in this situation where employment is decreasing but the population is increasing?
matt fair has been thinking about this for twenty years. check him out.
