“If capitalism were simply a way to meet material needs, it would make no sense that people work harder now that less labor is required for production.

As long as the economy distributes access to resources according to wealth, advances in manufacturing technology will simply force workers to seek other livelihoods. The machine no longer needs us, but it still needs us to keep working.”
