The Demand Paradox reminds me of a piece of the Capital Institute’s “Regenerative Capitalism.” Specifically Principle #2 of their 8 Key Principles of Regenerative Vitality.
I’ve also been listening to Gary’s Economics and he speaks a lot about the transition from a wage economy to an asset economy.
I appreciate your work & look forward to what’s coming!
Great work. I am still nervous that the guardrails against "Technofeudalism" are not watertight yet. Politics and governance are messy and prone to manipulation, transparency is easy to manipulate by channel owners (or flooding of useless stuff) and shared ownership has been tried before (e.g. agriculture communes) and did not scale. The reason I am extra sensitive is that I grew up in East-Germany and pretty much all of this was promised and not everyone was an "evil communist to take over the world". People actually believed there were on to something and tried hard to make it work. It fell apart since in times of scarcity we are biological hardwired to take care of family and friends first and care about the goodness in the world after that.
Great article and so insightful.
