aggregate, but the resultant shift in the distribution of welfare may leave many a good deal worse off. This is not to say that we should not strive for more efficiency or adopt new technologies, but in doing so we should place less reliance on the simplistic notion that growth nationally is growth for all. We should be as much concerned with the distributional implications of technological change. In particular we should be concerned about the declining role that labour is playing in our national production and the implications this will have on distribution of wealth and welfare. — Yours, etc.,
WARWICK MURRAY. April 9, 1984.
