An ideological contrast to the post-scarcity economy is formed by the concept of a steady-state economy. Today, futurists who speak of "post-scarcity" suggest economies based on advances in automated manufacturing technologies, often including the idea of self-replicating machines, the adoption of division of labour which in theory could produce nearly all
