A few classes ago, the topic of a world with no scarcity were brought up during class. I started to imagine what our world would be if all kinds of resources where infinite. If economics tries to distribute all resources because of scarcity, if there is no scarcity what would economics be about?
Maybe in a very lucky situation our society would reach a perfect level of society. If there is no scarcity, everyone would be available to get every kind of service; money should be well distributed. I just wonder what rich and greed people would do, if everything precious that they have, is now available to all kinds of people.
For the worst of chances, I think scarcity could bring Anarchy to society, because there would be no control, and they idea of power could get in the mind of every one because now they have the same chances that everyone has.
I really don’t know what would happen, but I think it is a good idea to be prepared for this kind of situation. Starting with our values and principles, so if one day scarcity is really over, people will not try to kill each other.
