Interesting, if a bit vulgar-libertarian towards the end. But conspicuously absent is mention of the West's long-standing use of the military in general and wars in particular as sinks for inevitable surplus output. And though much may indeed be said about current electronics-based innovations it is very easy to lose sight of the fact that the manufacture of basic electronic hardware is more dependent on maintaining volume and, hence, dumping surplus than perhaps any manufacturing practice in history. (I've yet to undertake an analysis of computing outside chip mills and the Future Machine. It is a daunting task for which I fear I lack the necessary technical detail.The theorists in the field tend to be technophiles who proceed from an unreasoned assumption of the simple "thereness" of the requisite hardware, without the need to manufacture it or to buy it: I would be wary of their assistance.)
However, though war is a long-established way of creating economic demand out of thin air it is quite probable that the world is running out of the ability to respond to that demand as we speak. Something has to give.
