Oh, of course there will be flaws and catches in the system- There always are- But they'll be new and different problems with the system. The point is that we won't be trying to pound square pegs into round holes- we'll be pounding slightly rough roundish pegs into them.

The problem is not technology making goods and services cheap, the problem is a complicated social issue. We're doing it wrong. We've been doing it wrong ever since the industrial revolution began.
