We’d be idiots to create a world where everyone needs to spend. That would be extremely shortsighted. What we need is a sensible world where nobody needs to work, nobody needs money and everyone gets the resources they need, provided by the jointly owned automation on our jointly owned world. I sincerely hope we never see “Isaac”‘s hideous dystopia, personally. The days of needing any kind of currency should already be behind us.
Its not meant to be a utopia or a dystopia. It is one possible outcome for a society bent on maintaining a growth economy in an automated world.
Money and the price system are needed to ensure efficient allocation of resources. What we’re talking about is not a world were no resources are spent, but a world where manual labor as a resource has been ~100% automated.
