It seems to me that capitalism is struggling because of a lack of technological progress, not because of a surplus of it. There really haven't been any major breakthroughs for a while for improving access to energy or materials. Manufacturing is if anything degrading; the new hotness is finding people to work cheap. That's probably because robotics has been stagnant for too long. Food production is more or less a fight to stay even. This is an age of improvements in computing/communications. That is eventually going to help other areas but for now people seem to be determined to stop that from happening...
