[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=The-Shoveler]The age of abundance.[/quote]
I agree. But that works only is if we find a way of spreading the abundance. No matter how cheap the goods are, people who have no jobs and no income cannot buy them.
More leisure jobs and spending would be a win-win.[/quote]
I have a slightly negative or less optimistic view on that.
More productivity or abundance means the more dilution of individual labor hence the less per-unit value an individual worker will have for the top 1% which in turn means the 1% will have means to exert more control.
For example, look at what ERP did to finance teams in companies.
