In Messy Jobs: The Work That AI Cannot Reach, three leading economists debunk apocalyptic predictions that AI will eliminate millions of jobs. The book is endorsed by Nobel Prize-winning economist Bengt Holmstrom and Harvard School of Business professor Raffaella Sadun, among others. Economists Luis Garicano, Jin Li, and Yanhui Wu show that the future of work will be shaped by the messy parts of jobs that machines struggle to master: judgment, coordination, accountability, tacit knowledge, and human relationships. Messy Jobs is a clear and optimistic guide to work, opportunity, and human value in the age of AI.
