In your new sci fi economy, where technocrats have a closed economy that excludes everyone else, citizens united would be dead. You can’t prevent people and governments from trying to take everything you have by bribing them with AI algorithms that they can’t actually use for anything. Yes, look at trump as the perfect example. The elite are kissing his ass and basically bribing him. That works because there is this entire economy with something called money and millions of people building and staffing airports and resorts and golf courses and private jet factories and pumping oil out of the ground and refining it into jet fuel. What happens when all of that goes away in your fantasy economy? Oh wait right…robots.

The USA wielding military power for the benefit of the wealthy is not new or a sign of the end of the economy as we know it
