Capitalism is terrible but really the only 1 we know works. Socialism collapsed in 1989 and is going to be eliminated world wide in the next few decades. Mercanitilism/Feudalism for the most part is gone today and I dont recall seeing anyone arguing to bring those back. There are a ton of proposed systems but you don't really hear much about them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_credit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_credit This will likely be where we end up. Inevitably boston dynamics or whoever build bots that do something. It's not going to be tremendously expensive or anything neither. You'll likely buy your first butlers for like $50,000. Your house will be clean and everything will be done for you. Freeing up tons of time for you to do other things. Factory workers wont be a thing. Plumbers wont be a thing. Bots replace everyone. The economic measure will flip on itself. You wont be punished for consumption, in fact you'll see sales taxes and all those things go away rapidly. The new punishment or cost of things is in the waste. It will be a measure bots will be measured on, 'buy our butler 9001, it comes with 99% reduction on waste compared to the industry standard." Mining? Not a problem bots do that now. Mine collapsed? Send more bots. Sorting your recycle into 10 boxes? Nah, throw it all in 1 box and bots will sort it for you. Need a fence built? Bots will be available to build your fence for you. Scarcity will largely speaking be eliminated, hence why you charge based on waste. There's still a finite amount of stuff at any time, we can produce more for basically free. But it's all about the waste because you dont want someone causing unnecessary need for production.
