Why would lower prices be beneficial? Americans already had the highest living standards in the world.

In 600 BCE some population had the highest living standards in the world. Was that the peak of human flourishing that we ever should have aspired to?
Still have not answered my question. Why is lower prices better? Why would vastly higher consumption coupled with vastly decreased production be beneficial?
More things, less work sounds like utopia to me. Bring on the replicators!
