Yes, I also understand that what the author talks about is a change in focus. Similarly, when he talks about the transition from the agrarian age to the industrial, he doesn't imply "land" disappeared, that would be absurd. I would also add that the author seems to be talking a lot about the transition, so maybe it's not so much "we have enough capital now", than "we're getting there in a few years/decades", and hence the question about what lies ahead. Well, he actually writes that: > Capital is already no longer scarce in some parts of the world and rapidly less scarce everywhere. Rapidly is a very relative term in this context.
