Yes. There will be growing pains as we adjust to this new kind of economy.
When talking about socialism, it's important to distinguish between goods and services that have a level of scarcity and those that don't.
We have the resources to provide food for everyone, but we don't have the resources to provide private jets for everyone. That means there should be a market for private jets. There should always be a market for luxuries. There should never be a market for things we can easily give everyone. As technology advances, old markets will collapse and new markets will rise.
The government should provide for its people as much as it can. No more. No less.
The good news is that once society recognizes that having a job is optional, we no longer need to worry about silly things like minimum wage, living wage, or unions. You'd be working at a job because:
A. You enjoy spending your time that way.
B. It pays enough that you're willing to sacrifice your time in order to gain access to luxuries.
If a job pays $3 an hour and you don't like it, then don't work at that job. It's in no way tied to your survival.
