Os vencedores e perdedores da Quarta Revolução Industrial: um estudo comparativo entre Detroit e o Vale do Silício

Abstract

With the unfolding of the Fourth Industrial Revolution technological innovations had a great impact in the international system and the way the political-economic environment works. The production had its progress totally affected with the arrival of Industry 4.0 and other technologies that are connected to the industrial scope. This revolution also transformed the market, which now has new demands for specialized workers, concentrates income in the richest ones and centralizes capital. These changes culminated in a scenario that favors those who managed to adapt well to these transformations, but punishes those who do not reacted well to the transition, resulting in a considerable increase in income inequality. Therefore, this research aims to understand how the Fourth Industrial Revolution participates in this project and how some groups dealt with this transition, finally carrying out a case study between Detroit and Silicon Valley to analyze these impacts in real cases.
