7 APRIL THE 21st PREVIEW OF IN THE SAME BOAT BY RODOLFO MAURIZIO GNUTTI VENUE: AUDITORIO SEBASTIAN LERDO DE TEJADA / SENATE BUILDING ON STREET DONCELES #14 / MEXICAN SENATE 11AM/ Presentation and screening of In the Same Boat by its director, Rodolfo Maurizio Gnutti and Daniel Raventós, founder of the BIEN network. In the same boat is based on the analysis of a surprising, and scacerly studied, economic paradox: technological unemployment, to finally self-critically analyze the contradictions of modern society. Unemployment is spreading across a globalist planet like an epidemic, even in emerging economies. While all our efforts were focused on creating more jobs, paradoxically, technology offers us the unique opportunity to work less and less. There is a significant body of thinking that proposes a more rational sharing of jobs, profits and resources, without destroying the system.
