?  I don't understand what you're saying here.  You seem to be implying that it's unwise to have faith in such a world, but YOU asked the question:

Are you interested in people 'affording goods and services' and 'producing them' ?  You're asking about the nature of wholesale economic change itself, which I think means we have to find a way to find new services/products for people to consume.

This is a little difficult to imagine, but if you went back 50 years could you imagine there would be so many RMTs, life coaches, dog walkers and so on ? 

We should be able to approach the next change a little more wisely than, say, the Europeans did during the industrial revolution.  *Should*

We live in a society where the emphasis is cheaper goods and services by replacing people with technology. Who is going to employ those RMT's, life coaches and dog walkers?. We can't support ourselves by walking each others dogs.
