Always the same message, that is deeply flawed: That the problem today is technology, it is not.
Reality is that today economy is central planned in order to protect the money from the people at the top at the expense of the one of normal people, who had seen taxes increase and life much more expensive as a result.
Don't get me wrong, I have friends that are rich, but the reality is that lots of people at the top got money speculating on bad assets or bubbles.
When it was time for correction,(2008) the governments entered in order to protect those speculators from losses, and bought those bad assets making miserable the general economy.
The problem is not solved, protecting malinvestors only makes them more confident to do it again.
- TeMPOraL 13y agoThere's a bigger problem with our economy - its two main pillars are scarcity and growth. The first one is disappearing thanks to automation, and the second one is unsustainable, as we're about to hit the roof. The economy will change, it's only a question of whether we handle the transition gracefully, or let the whole thing collapse on our heads.
- xixi77 13y agoWhat are the signs of either scarcity, or growth, being in danger of soon (or ever) going away? The asinine "infinite growth on a finite world has to be impossible" meme is getting really tired; but even if we subscribed to that notion for a second, what would constrain future growth if not scarcity? And what would do away with scarcity if not growth?
