About

Kim Moody is a leading scholar in labor studies and political economy, whose research critically examines the intersection of technology, work, and capitalism. His key contributions center on debunking popular narratives about automation and job displacement, arguing instead that technological change is shaped by class struggle and economic stagnation. In his widely cited work *High Tech, Low Growth: Robots and the Future of Work* (2018), Moody challenges the "end of work" thesis, demonstrating that despite automation fears, the U.S. workforce has continued to expand—though under increasingly precarious conditions. With 29 citations, this paper has become a touchstone for scholars seeking a materialist, historically grounded analysis of labor markets. Moody’s broader oeuvre, including influential books like *In Solidarity: Essays on Working-Class Organization and Strategy in the United States*, has shaped debates on union strategy, rank-and-file militancy, and the political economy of neoliberalism. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the real dynamics of work, technology, and resistance under capitalism.
