book introduction
The economic difficulties we are experiencing now, also called the Second Machine Age, are even more fatal because the social safety net has disappeared. Labor and poverty in the digital age are changing into a 'new' form that has never been experienced before.
After majoring in political philosophy, the author, who has given numerous lectures at university and on the street, first explains how this reality was created historically, diagnoses where the current technological advances are, and finally solves these problems. Here are some alternatives we can take to do this.

Recommendation
Regardless of east or west, in an era when public education was not well developed, uncle played the role of a good educator. But now, as an educator, his uncle has not only weakened, but is also disappearing physically. Dr. Man-Kwon Kim's 『A New Poverty Is Coming』 brings back that faded educator-uncle to our side. Kindly, yet stylishly, he explores the transformations of humans and technology, economy and society through the eyes of philosophy and unraveling them through the mouth of politics. now you are safe My child finally has an educator-uncle again. - Junhee Jung (adjunct professor at Hanyang University College of Media and Information, host MBC <100 Minute Discussion>, KBS 1 Radio <Open Discussion>, TBS TV <Jung Jun-hee's Hashtag>)
Hannah Arendt calls them 'people of a dark age', but Man-Kwon Kim calls them 'people of a new age'. This is why I read the writings and books of political philosopher Man-Kwon Kim. He reads the world, but in his reading, people are always the most important. Kim Man-kwon is a political scientist who is concerned about that 'place of man'. Although it is said that the place of man will be replaced by something, Man-Kwon Kim is still thinking about the place of man. Maybe that's why, even in the dark, he expects a new era through him. Kim Man-kwon distances himself from premature skepticism and rejects romantic fiction. Such a meticulous and humble anthropology, that is the writings of Man-Kwon Kim. - Kang Yoo-jeong (Literary Critic, Professor of Korean Literature, Gangnam University)
Artificial intelligence, the 4th industrial revolution, the sharing economy… . The speed at which the world is changing takes your breath away. The development of technology that should be for human beings is encouraging polarization, corrupting democracy, and dismantling social protection mechanisms. This book reveals the reality of the 21st century with numbers and data without warmth. Instead of the vague anxiety that comes from ignorance, he chose the shock that brings about change. Should the future of ordinary people without huge wealth and power be dystopian? I propose the following alternatives to this. Let's start by breaking the frame of thinking that we took for granted, such as the value of labor and meritocracy. So that no one is left behind in a crisis, because anyone can be that person... . - Yang Ji-yeol (lawyer)
I've never seen anyone cry as well as Man Kwon oppa. He seems to cry better than my four-year-old. Among scholars, I believe that those who cry so well because they do not have calluses in their hearts are precious. He still remembers with complex emotions his older brother, who was quietly crying on the bench in front of Yeonhui-gwan the day before he went to study abroad. Even these days, I cry because I am happy, I cry because I am sad, I cry while reading a book, and I cry because I love you. I thought while reading the manuscript. You made those sweet tears into writing. My brother said that this book was his complaint and expression of sadness. I hope this gentle philosopher's sorrow will eventually become strength and joy for many people in the world. Even in times when we can't hold hands, I hope that we can hold each other's hearts... . - Jinmin Lee
About the author and translator
Kim Man-kwon (Author)
Kim Man-kwon is a philosopher. He pursues a philosophy of standing on the ground and pursues a political philosophy. After all, my job is to build the world with my thoughts and reality. On the other hand, Kim Man-kwon is also the father of a five-year-old child. Maybe it's because I saw him at such a late age? There are many concerns about how to build a world in which this child can live in peace. In a world where the winners take everything, do you have to raise them as the kid who takes everything? I also thought it was such a stupid idea. The conclusion I came to after much deliberation is this: Rather than betting on the odds of being a winner of less than 1 in 100, it is a much wiser way to create a world where this child can love, respect, and do what he loves without worrying about whether he grows up normally or a little too short. If the world is safe and good for this child, it will also be the same for all children in the world. So, fathers want to build a world where they can say this to their children. “Don’t worry, you can do whatever you want!” In this book dealing with the poverty and anxiety that eat away at our lives, there is also a wish that our children will have a different future.

Introduction of the book provided by the publisher
Pandemic, the new normal, the 4th industrial revolution, wealth inequality, non-growing jobs, platform labor...
How is the world changing?
How can human dignity be preserved in an age of poverty, hatred and contempt?
This book tries to answer that!
Due to COVID-19, everyone has come to realize that we are living in a time of crisis. But it's not just the disease that's bothering us. This is because the pandemic is also revealing the problems of the new capitalism. How serious is the polarization of income and wealth, how devastating the lives of workers who have lost the traditional social protection net can be, and our day-to-day lives as if we are fighting for survival prove this.
Our future, which people are anxiously watching, is full of grim prospects. Economic growth has long since stalled, and the unemployment rate is unlikely to fall. Even after graduating from college, all that remains is debt, and even if you gather your souls, it is difficult to find a charter in Seoul. It is said that regular workers are like picking stars in the sky, but the economy is getting more difficult due to the pandemic, and to make matters worse, even the development of technologies brought by the 4th industrial revolution, such as artificial intelligence and industrial robots, are aiming for our jobs.
Of course, there have been several industrial revolutions that radically changed the world before. However, it was different from the 4th industrial revolution based on digital technology that is taking place recently in many ways. Unlike in the past, when benefits were extended to workers, the current technological development is only multiplying by transnational corporations. At the same time, the boundaries of labor are increasingly blurred, and workers are being forced into employment forms that do not guarantee a sufficient quality of life, such as '0-hour employment', 'cloud work', 'concierge work', and 'platform work'.
The economic difficulties we are experiencing now, also called the Second Machine Age, are even more fatal because the social safety net has disappeared. Labor and poverty in the digital age are changing into a 'new' form that has never been experienced before.
Is there really anything we can do in this reality?
After majoring in political philosophy, the author, who has given numerous lectures at university and on the street, first explains how this reality was created historically, diagnoses where the current technological advances are, and finally solves these problems. Here are some alternatives we can take to do this.
A world where we can build positive partnerships with machines, prevent the concentration of wealth among the few, and allow the common people to live in protection. In the book, the author says that such a world is fully possible. If we reach out to each other, human beings will be able to preserve their dignity in any crisis. .
Let's take his warm hand and walk into the book together.
“Make sure no one is left behind in crisis!”
everyone is anxious
According to one survey, 8 out of 10 middle-class people in Korea consider themselves to be poor. The middle class, which belongs to 65.4% of all households in Korea, who owns an apartment of 31 pyeong and a mid-sized car, eats 2.1 cups of coffee and a lunch of 6,200 won a day, and works an average of 8.2 hours a day, no longer feels that their life is stable. means For those who 'don't know when they'll fall into the abyss', life is like a tightrope.
A crisis came within a crisis. Before the fear that the 4th industrial revolution, represented by artificial intelligence and digital technology, might take away human jobs, a new crisis called a pandemic has struck the world again. Under these circumstances, the growing inequality of wealth and the unstable social safety net are revealing more and more clearly the problems of the newly transformed capitalism.
There have been many times of rapid change and crises in the history of mankind. However, the industrial revolution of the past increased the affluence of society as a whole and brought benefits to workers as well, and newly created technologies and machines also required more skilled labor to handle them. As the stable supply of labor became more important, companies and the state had no choice but to formulate policies to protect workers. In addition, the growth of the working class has resulted in the acquisition of the three rights of labor, and society has built a welfare system that can safely protect the lives of ordinary people.
How has the world changed?
However, the situation is different now that it is called the age of the 2nd machine age and the 4th industrial revolution.
The affluence created by the burgeoning digital-based industries is not being adequately distributed to workers, and only a handful of transnational corporations are multiplying. The super-riches created in this way exercise enormous influence even in the realm of politics and are running their own leagues. The reality is that the top 5% own 50% of all assets. It is said that the playground is tilted, but in fact, they and us may be in a completely different space.
So, what is life like for most of us?
A 'superconnected society' based on smartphones is creating new forms of work such as '0-hour employment', 'cloud labor', 'concierge labor' and 'platform labor', 'labor with ambiguous boundaries'. Although they are strictly employed workers, they are treated as self-employed and have no rights as workers. Workers working at drama production sites are not even recognized as workers in the first place. To them, the world threatens that artificial intelligence will take away the few remaining human jobs. In addition to the pandemic, the daily life of ordinary people is getting worse.
These changes, which have taken place without a proper social safety net, are making the lives of ordinary people more and more hellish. We, the 'new poverty', who were thrown without any protective net under the newly transformed capitalism, are beginning like this.
things we need to ask
What should we do in this reality?
The book begins by diagnosing reality and asking five questions to solve the problem.
First, how and to what extent will technology in the era of the 4th industrial revolution change human life? Is the new machine a new hardship or an opportunity for humans? Can humans and new machines form interdependent partnerships?
Second, how has the development of technology changed the essence of capitalism? What is the emerging shared platform at the heart of capitalism?
Third, why is capitalism in the 21st century criticized for being only for the few winners and the elite? Then, why is democracy, where the majority rule, neglecting these ills of capitalism?
Fourth, in a monopolistic society of winners and elites, is work properly respected? What does it mean for human beings to live with dignity in an age of poverty, disgust and contempt?
Fifth, what should we do to protect human dignity in the age of new technology in the 21st century? Is inequality a solvable problem? If so, what are the possible attempts to solve it?
The author tries to answer these questions under the premise that 'a new era, a new distribution standard is needed'.
Make sure no one is left behind in crisis
The era of crisis called 'COVID-19' is telling ordinary us that we should not approach each other. In such a national disaster situation, people in a difficult situation will be more isolated. This is especially true for those who do not have the money to use digital equipment or are unable to utilize the technology. However, even at this moment, companies use the crisis as an excuse to demand more freedom and deregulation, and those who are forced to work without a social safety net are increasingly marginalized. If this environment continues, our solidarity is bound to weaken more and more.
We must not forget that we are now standing in front of a new challenge. In times of crisis, more and more people are excluded. Those left behind for whatever reason on their way to the emergency exit no longer have faith in their fellow citizens. Ultimately, how we respond to these new crises will reshape social trust. Then, isn't it the most necessary thing to deliver a message of protection at a time when the majority are trembling with anxiety in the face of uncertainty about boundaries? Instead of discrimination, instead of hate, if we have the heart to protect each other in our hearts, believing that the warmth of our hearts will protect us, the author leaves the following final words.
'Make sure no one is left behind in the crisis.'
