We've been near a post-scarcity economy in the West for some time now and it always seems at the tipping point of being for everyone or for just a consolidated few. I haven't seen a lot of people posting things like, "It's your fault you work in a job that is shut down and can't pay for groceries. Pick yourself up your bootstraps." Nice not seeing that and perhaps anecdotally it says something more positive about society than previously assumed.

Isn't war usually involved in these changes? Economic analysis isn't enough. We must also appreciate the military might buttressing the current paradigm.
