In a hundred years we won't need people to do much. Most things will be automated.
How will humans survive without work and a salary?
Will Mankind have to devise a new way to "pay" people that is not based upon "work"?

A free market economist can then declare that the human race was not economically fit to survive and deserves whatever fate it gets. This is how economic Darwinism works.reply
