What economic system do you propose that has the most individual independence?

1 comments

One where I don't witness the majority of my peers doing pointless socially unnecessary work because profit is the dominant justification for most economic activity.
Does this system have a name? Where can I read more about this system that doesn't pressure anyone to work?
Why do you think it yet exists? Do you think we've reached the end of history? I don't think we even know where to start.

All of the greatest problems looming on our horizon are tied to how we organize production and consumption.

>Why do you think it yet exists?

Because I asked about it, and you answered by confidently describing it, instead of saying "it doesn't exist."

I described something by saying what it isn't. I think you understand the concept of looking for something having some idea of what it is and isn't, but not knowing exactly what it would be.
To an outside reader, it sounds like you know exactly what it is but are trying to not call it by its name for some reason.
