Resumo: This article develops a critical assessment of the literature correlating the technological advances of Industry 4.0 to worsening conditions in unemployment and wage inequality. Some of the limits and inconsistencies of this literature are highlighted, particularly its inadequacy to explain contemporary movements of manufacturing and its social consequences. We then argue that an analysis based on post-Keynesian political economy seems more appropriate to studying the topic, since it underlines the importance of effective demand and political and international contexts in the determination of employment and wages. The article concludes by rejecting the mainstream hypothesis that correlates unemployment and/or inequality with technological progress.

Algunos de los límites e inconsistencias en esta literatura son resaltados, especialmente su dificultad de explicar los movimientos contemporáneos de la manufactura y sus consecuencias sociales. Se argumenta entonces que un análisis basado en el marco teórico de la economía política pos-keynesiana se ve más adecuado para el estudio del tema, porque tal marco subraya la importancia de la demanda efectiva y del contexto político e internacional para la determinación del nivel de empleo y salario. El artículo termina rechazando la hipótesis teórica del mainstream económico que correlaciona desempleo y/o desigualdad con el progreso tecnológico.L’article développe une lecture critique de la literature qui relatione l’avancement technologique de l’industrie 4.0 avec une dégradation des chiffres du chômage et d'inégalité salariale. Les limites et inconsistances de cette literature sont soulignés, surtout son incapacité d’expliquer les mouvements contemporains de la manufacture e leurs conséquences sociales. On argumente ensuite qu’une analyse basée sur le cadre théorique de l’économie politique post-keynésienne semble plus appropriée à l’étude du sujet, car elle souligne l’importance de la demande effective et du contexte politique et international pour la détermination des niveaux d’emploi et de salaire. L’article finit pour rejeter l’hypothèse du mainstream de l’économie qui fait un lien entre chômage (et/ou inégalité) et progrès technologique.  O artigo desenvolve uma leitura crítica da literatura que correlaciona os avanços tecnológicos da Indústria 4.0 com pioras nos níveis de desemprego e de desigualdade salarial. Alguns dos limites e inconsistências dessa literatura são destacados, especialmente a sua dificuldade de explicar movimentos contemporâneos da manufatura e suas consequências sociais. Argumenta-se então que uma análise baseada no arcabouço teórico da economia política pós-Keynesiana parece mais adequada para o estudo do tema, pois tal arcabouço sublinha a importância da demanda efetiva e do contexto político e internacional para a determinação do nível de emprego e salário. O artigo conclui por rejeitar a hipótese teórica do mainstream econômico que correlaciona desemprego e/ou desigualdade com progresso tecnológico.  Universidade Estadual de Campinas2021-10-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontextotextotexteinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://econtents.bc.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/rbest/article/view/1580210.20396/rbest.v3i00.15802RBEST Revista Brasileira de Economia Social e do Trabalho; v. 3 (2021): Dossiê: Impactos da Indústria 4.0; e021008Revista Brasileira de Economia Social e do Trabalho; Vol. 3 (2021): Dossier: Impactos de la Industria 4.0 ; e021008RBEST: Revista Brasileira de Economia Social e do Trabalho; Vol. 3 (2021): Dossier: Impacts of Industry 4.0; e021008RBEST: Revista Brasileira de Economia Social e do Trabalho; Vol. 3 (2021): Dossier: Impacts de l'industrie 4.0; e0210082674-9564reponame:Revista Brasileira de Economia Social e do Trabalhoinstname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp)instacron:UNICAMPenghttps://econtents.bc.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/rbest/article/view/15802/10682Global; 21st centuryGlobal; Siglo XXIGlobal; 21ème siècleGlobal; Século XXICopyright (c) 2021 Rafael Palma Mungioli, Gabriel Marino Daudt, Luiz Daniel Willcoxhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Mungioli, Rafael PalmaDaudt, Gabriel MarinoWillcox, Luiz Daniel2023-04-18T14:57:01Zoai:inpec.econtents.bc.unicamp.br:article/15802Revistahttps://econtents.bc.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/rbest/indexPUBhttps://econtents.bc.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/rbest/oairbest@unicamp.br || ppec@unicamp.br2674-95642674-9564opendoar:2023-04-18T14:57:01Revista Brasileira de Economia Social e do Trabalho - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp)false
