{"id":4,"count":4,"description":"I'm worried about today's tendency for real and financial wealth to concentrate in a few hands while larger absolute numbers of people struggle to survive and prosper. Is our current capitalist\/market system the best way to organize global society? Can we evolve a better way to distribute the goods, services and money we are generating through the use of robots and artificial intelligence as well as human labor and capital? Let's see what we can envision. On the way, let's push hard on ideas such as Universal Basic Income or assumptions about monetary value and social merit. Let's analyze our logic rigorously, be complete in our statements of underlying assumptions and consider as many unintended outcomes as we can conceive of. Perhaps we can generate some alternatives to the increasing varieties of dystopia that are dominating popular media.","link":"https:\/\/loopcntr.net\/musings\/category\/wealth-distribution\/","name":"Wealth Distribution","slug":"wealth-distribution","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/loopcntr.net\/musings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/4"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/loopcntr.net\/musings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/loopcntr.net\/musings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/loopcntr.net\/musings\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=4"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
