In reality we live in an age of plenty - there's little scarcity and labour is to a great extent automated - but we live in a market robbed of the power to buy its own goods so the rich can afford to build themselves a shrine made out of gold. We're rationed so they can afford gigantic status symbols, there's no real world productive for them to be so rich and everyone else to be so poor.

Today we're like the 1930s, we're on the cusp of a scientific new age but we don't have the political will and attitude to make the 1950s happen, to actually put the man in space and transform the daily life of the average citizen.

The problem is the morality it brings in. Generation "me" came about precisely because of the luxury of new sciences and what basically happens is that "money doesn't grow on trees" and "if you don't work, you die" become less and less true the more and more advanced you become - a society effectively lives off the rent of its own technology and up until the 1980s that rent was broadly shared around everybody, and since the 1980s rent-seeking was monopolised at the top for the !%. Today's baby boomers can still remember the days when their wages were inflated and education was "free" courtesy of these rents.
