As a society we are always encouraged to aim for more, more growth, more consumption. We are never asked to discuss a largely automated future where the production problem has been solved. What would it be like? The particular situation of our market economy seems to discourage such talk.[snip]
And since production processes are largely automated already, shouldn't that "future" already be our background which we can take for granted?
The carrot is attached to a stick affixed to the donkey's head.
