The symptoms are there to see and are inarguably widespread and devastating to people's sense of wellness and wellbeing- the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer -faster. However- the diagnosis is way off base. Our tech development and dependency is changing how work can support people and yet we hold fast to the assumptions and precepts that allowed widespread prosperity in the past- a fair day's wage for a fair days work. Now- 75% of that work is done by machine, soon 90% of it will, and then 99%- but still we cannot get away from our need for a wage, many can't even imagine it. The thing is- we have to- soon- it may already be too late. We need a new way- a new economics- that balances demand with supply in a way that optimizes the equitable distribution of benefits of production, not just one that rewards the owners of the capital that is increasingly responsible for that production. That is the conflict/problem we (humanity) need to resolve.
