"“Here’s a current example of the challenge we face,” he writes in the book’s prelude: “At the height of its power, the photography company Kodak employed more than 140,000 people and was worth $28 billion. They even invented the first digital camera. But today Kodak is bankrupt, and the new face of digital photography has become Instagram. When Instagram was sold to Facebook for a billion dollars in 2012, it employed only 13 people. Where did all those jobs disappear? And what happened to the wealth that all those middle-class jobs created?”

"My favorite example is how the container ships managed to convince the NY longshoreman’s union to accept the new technology.
In 1960 the Union negotiated container royalties — year-end payments to longshoremen based on the weight of cargo moving through their ports.
In 1964, as containerization was really hitting the docks, New York’s longshoreman’s union managed to establish a now-defunct guaranteed annual income for their members, which allowed longshoremen to collect as much as $32,000 a year for doing no work at all after they lost their jobs."
