So will people in a humanistic economy find enough value in each other to earn a living, once cloud software coupled with robots and other gadgets can meet most of life's needs and wants? Or even more bluntly, "Will there be enough value from ordinary people in the long term to justify the existence of an economy?"
possibly, but only if we manage to convince enough of the corporate world to downgrade their profit expectations. that would be a monumental undertaking just for more of the same sort of exploitation so why even bother????
this book is the most centrist thing i've ever read
