The global economy is facing numerous structural challenges. With the looming fourth economic revolution characterized by even more technological development and mechanization, the future of productive labour is bleak. Most unskilled and semi-skilled workers are likely to lose their jobs.

All in all, however, there are more positives than negatives, as we discuss in today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:
