A little thoughtwork in progress. Picking up the Classical Liberal underpinnings of #TrueCostAccounting and applying it to labor displacement by AI and robots. Not quite ready for prime time but interesting. Refined blog in a week or so.

#AlfredMarshall called a nation's net annual output its "National Dividend," what a society produces when its laws and infrastructure are right. When #agents absorb the work and no new jobs appear, unemployment is a cost the firm never pays. That's an externality. #TrueCostAccounting #EconSky

Schumpeter's creative destruction assumed new jobs would appear as old ones fell. Entry-level openings are shrinking from #AI inroads instead. The firm books the savings, the public books the loss. Price it into registration/token fees, return it as a dividend. #TrueCostAccounting #EconSky #agents

While #TrueCostAccounting applies to everything grown or made, for every value addition there are consequent value subtractions, resource depletion, environmental impacts, it really comes into play when we place capable robots and AI agents. There the high cost of labor displacement accrues

Pondering on True Cost Accounting. If capable robots are built and placed then labor displacement costs and consequent aggregate demand deficiencies are legitimately part of their cost accounting paradigm. Instead of screaming tax the rich the general cry should be #TrueCostAccounting !

Did you know the price of food doesn’t reflect its true cost?
Agrifood systems’ costs to human health, the environment, social and economic equality are often invisible—but very real.
IFPRI/CGIAR #TrueCostAccounting work is generating country-level evidence on the true costs of food production.
