FINANCIAL INSECURITY —
WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT IT ?Financial insecurity is common wherever you are — (except for some small nations whose good fortune experts claim cannot be copied on purpose.)
Some people like insecurity as it is. It keeps workers in line. Replace it, with secure income and too much planning by authority, and the result will be more insecurity not less. They say.
Can anyone prove these nay-sayers are wrong? Can we prove a cradle to grave planned financial system can be trusted — to motivate learning the skills we need and working the hours we must?
Can anyone prove the nay-sayers are right? I don't think so. If they were, things would be far different than they are. The answer it would seem is to be far more experimental than any of our nations are so far.
We are immersed, some scientists say, in several technological revolutions at once. Biology. Information/communication science. Nanotechnology. These three, at least, are on a tear.
In almost no time at all, we will be able to train our children to love learning all their life. We will be able to produce an end to scarcity in enough necessities to establish for-free distribution of an awful lot of things that cost more to sell than give away.
