No one chose the economy we had before either. You are who, what and where you are by virtue of historical accident. The serfs of the Middle Ages sure as shit

No one chose the economy we had before either. You are who, what and where you are by virtue of historical accident. The serfs of the Middle Ages sure as shit didn’t want that economy either, nor did the unwashed masses, dying at such an alarming rate of dysentery and cholera that the population of major cities was only sustained through mass migration during industrialization in the 18th and 19th centuries. Nor did more or less any slave during human history. The last ~150 years of economic freedom and prosperity for a large percentage of the population that has been wide spread across industrialized economies is the exception, not the rule, and the difference is and always has been the fact that industrialized economies have required large amounts of skilled specialists to make the systems they developed work. If you change that calculus, there is no historical precedent to assume that human societies won’t revert to the mean.
