Really enjoyed this series. It’s very interesting to reflect on how the price of goods and services materializes. I’m not an economist, but I recall the basic principle of supply and demand: if work takes fewer hours, the product should become cheaper in a competitive market. In reality, though, some businesses benefit from inefficiency and are reluctant to change at an industry level. IT companies may even implement new technologies in ways that maintain duplicative processes, or generate extra work if the software itself is inefficient. Still, the direction is clear, even if progress can feel slower than it should. Thanks for the insightful read. (P.S. there is the same link for part II and III , in case you update link for part 2 - will be great)
