The face of economics in general is in a transitory state. What used to be considered "work" is now more mechanized, and labor-intensive jobs are able to be outsourced to a willing labor force hungry for opportunity in many developing nations. Does this spell the end of "work" and a decline in the standard of living in the United States? The book, Cybereconomics, points out that for every job destroyed by technology, other jobs have evolved and more continue to be created. Many jobs that could only have been considered "science fiction" twenty years ago exist today, and the pay scale for emerging positions in the United States is considerably higher than that available in traditional manufacturing or agriculture jobs. Cybereconomics explores the coming paradigm shift in the world of work and the challenges and opportunities presented by a truly borderless free-market economy.
