Answer to Question 1

False. Henry Ford's assembly line is an example of how changes in the organization of production increased productivity.

Answer to Question 2

True . Neutral technological change leaves the proportion in which inputs are used (for example, the labor/capital ratio) unchanged, but non-neutral technological changes are innovations that alter the labor/capital ratio. The labor/capital ratio used to produce a given level of output falls after non-neutral technological change. Therefore, non-neutral technological change is more valuable to labor than neutral technological change.
