Probably capitalism will collapse (hopefully). Society is strong and resilient, and will likely be just fine. The real question is whether there will be a way to issue in the next iteration of societal order, or if it will regress when the capitalist empires of the world are destroyed.
- ethbro 11y agoIf capitalism collapses, then we're going to have to figure out a new way to incentivize production, transport, and distribution of food real quick.
- LesZedCB 11y agoI think many people naturally see ways that society can be improved and are wiling to work on them. It's hard to make this point without going into all aspects of socialist thought. However, in basic, the reason most people produce now is to have enough to buy food and housing. The incentive for people to do above and beyond is to get wealthy for a big payout of some sort. However, while that does incentivize entrepreneurship, I think it's hard to argue that most of the ideas that come out of those efforts are socially beneficial. I would argue it would actually require relatively little work in order to provide a high quality of basic necessities to all people (food, housing, healthcare), which would allow people to spend more time focusing on building out things that would be beneficial for society.
