The Computer and the Dynamo by Paul David
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/book-club-computer-and-the-dynamo-by-paul-david-tickets-1230871803699
The essay is available at https://gwern.net/doc/economics/automation/1989-david.pdf and addresses the challenges associated with getting breakthrough innovations adopted when they obsolete existing functional infrastructure.
“Many observers of contemporary economic trends have been perplexed by the contemporary conjuncture of rapid technological innovation with disappointingly slow gains in measured productivity. This essay aims to show modern economists and others who share their puzzlement in this matter, the direct relevance to their concerns of historical studies that trace the evolution of techno-economic regimes formed around “general purpose engines.” For this purpose an explicit parallel is drawn between two such engines — the computer and the dynamo.”
