The People Centered Economy
AI is cutting labor costs and workers are struggling to be valuable. The People Centered Economy (PCE) is a 'Copernican Revolution' placing people, not tasks, at the center of the economy. PCE has a handy definition of the economy: people create and exchange value, served by organization. In PCE, innovation makes people value each other more (not less) and the answer to the 'future of work' is simple: people need as much innovation for earning as there is for spending.
