The postulates on which economy is based must be changed. There is no guarantee that, as robots and technology accomplish much of our necessary work more efficiently, that an equal number of new and equally respectful jobs will be created. In fact, it is almost obvious that the number of jobs necessary for society to function will decrease. Yet, if the robots and technology are truly capable, our society will be no less, and probably even more wealthy and productive. If this increase in wealth and free time is not being directed in some transformed form to the people, but instead hoarded by those who don't need it, then workers who lose jobs will be relegated either to work at jobs much below their intelligence and skill level or simply to die off. The postulates need to be rethought. Our society will become richer, with more free time, and the assumption that food, health care, and housing requires a proportionate income will have to change. This will be a big challenge to some.
