    I actually think it would be closer to Atlas Shrugged, where the people generating new means of production begin to disappear and society becomes much poorer.

      The world is full of Steve Wozniaks who just never get a chance to shine because they are not interested in capital accumulation or are really eccentric or can’t take economic risks or just lost a cutthroat business competition because they trust or are kind. I know a few of them and have met many more.

      There are mozarts and einsteins toiling in fields right now. We do not have a shortage of genius and invention. We have an unnecessary zero-sum-game for an economy.
