I doubt it’ll take that long. Capitalism depends on being able to make a profit.

It’s possible quite soon that everything will be commoditized (designed, built, and recycled by machines ultra-cheaply) and nothing will be profitable.

The end of profit is the end of capitalism.

Capitalism is more about markets for resource allocation and private property than profit.
