economics of automation

since humans invented fire 
humans have been automating work 

and during the agricultural revolution 
the automation of work increased 

and during the industrial revolution 
automation of work increased significantly 

and during the information technology revolution 
automation of work increased even more 

but during each of those economic revolutions 
mass unemployement didn't increase long term 
instead it improved the quality of life for most humans 

but all that automation of work also created extreme amounts of wealth 
and the question is 
where is all that money 

all the obscene amounts of money that have been earned 
from automation of work 
would grow even more 
if it was invested more aggressively 
in companies and private infrastructure 

for example 
privately owned infrastructure like the 5g mobile network 
has enabled many companies to earn more money 

saving money doesn't grow money 
investing money grows money 

unleash economic growth
