Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Capatalism 2.0 ?
I actually think it has a really dangerous downside, that a huge monopoly will be made by four types of people who will be the only players left in the game one day ...
- those that make the goo for the 3D printers to make almost everything,
- farmers
- landlords
- Primary energy creators
But I guess if they were nationalised ...
In the mean time private enterprise is going to increasingly seem like an annoying middle man getting between people and the social enterprises people can make for themselves for free.
I can see a new mainstream political party emerging if none of the old ones get their head around this. Who is the champion of the new open source social enterprise revolution ?

I read this last night too. This, "Marx never asked what might happen if intense global competition some time in the future forced entrepreneurs to introduce ever more efficient technologies, accelerating productivity to the point where the marginal cost of production approached zero, making goods and services "priceless" and potentially free, putting an end to profit and rendering the market exchange economy obsolete." was the crux of the argument, no?
I wouldn't worry about the goo that 3D printers need, remember when Doc came back from the future and picked through the rubbish for fuel for the Delorean? What about in Terminator when the machines basically started printing themselves... oh... actually, this could end badly, couldn't it?
