FAZIO, Ariel. Contemporany automation and the blind ideal of free time. []. , 48, pp.33-48. ISSN 0121-7550.  https://doi.org/10.30578/nomadas.n48a2.

The article proposes a reading from a contemporary perspective of Marx against the scenario of automation; that is, the substitution of the human labor force -in cognitive functions that are more complex day after day- by machines. For this purpose, the document analyses Marx's insights regarding Smith's notion of productive work in order to differentiate between accumulation and free time from a critical perspective around the two main consequences of automation: unemployment and labor polarization.

: Marx; Smith; automation; productive work; unemployment; job polarization.
