The Evitable Conflict — Isaac Asimov
You can find this in The Complete Robot, Robot Visions and I, Robot.
The Earth is now divided into regions, each with a “Machine” managing their economies. However, things aren’t playing out as one would expect and the Machines are all doing very odd things with their respective economies.
Stephen Byerley, who is now World Coordinator has invited, a now very old, Susan Calvin around for a fireside chat about what’s going wrong.
This is another good story giving us a premonition of the Zeroth Law that is to come in the future.
Next up is Feminine Intuition.
