The western world, the US in particular, already has outrageous abundance.
And yet problems of despair, poverty and marginalization continue to exist.
5-10% of people experience some level of food insecurity. Is that really because of a lack of resources??
It seems to me like we have a resource allocation problem, not a resource generation problem.
This is not an argument for some form a socialism. But instead an argument that progress in the field of social organization would be more productive than progress in the field of technological disruption.
