This is how GDP/person has increased 30x the last 250 years.
What always happens is that the no longer needed X*0.25 people find new useful things to do and we end up 33% richer.
- AfterHIA 1y ago"we end up." It's actually, "they end up" and the 33% gains you're talking about aren't realized en masse until all the coal miners have black lung. It's really quite the, "dealy" as Homer Simpson would say. See, "Charles Dickens" or, "William Blake" for more. #grease
