Palabras clave:

Crecimiento Económico, cambio tecnológico, capital humano, convergencia económica

Resumen

El presente artículo se basa en una colección de ensayos. Estos describen cómo la convergencia y la aceleración del crecimiento basada en el capital humano y el progreso tecnológico nos pondrán de frente a una singularidad económica, donde la economía dejaría de ser la ciencia de administración de la escasez para convertirse en la ciencia del estudio de la acción humana en un entorno de abundancia radical. Cuantitativamente, si en el Siglo XXI el mundo converge, el PBI per-cápita crecería a una tasa del 4,18%, por lo que éste se multiplicaría 59,1 veces, superando en 4,6 veces los logros de 20 siglos. Si quiere hacerse una idea de lo que hablo, compare nuestro nivel de vida con el de inicios de la Era Cristiana. Luego considere qué sentiría una persona de dicho tiempo si le relatara lo que acontece hoy en nuestro mundo. Ahora, intente racionalizarlo y multiplique esas sensaciones 4,6 veces. Bienvenido a la Singularidad.
