Shouldn't there be more stuff for everyone then? Something is wrong if there weren't.



Only slightly. The question is if this small increase in stuff is worth the total degradation of ones life quality. I say it doesn't. You earn more but then you spend that extra income on expensive stuff that you don't need just to feel that you are still living a good life.

Oh oh, sounds like you're arguments are about marginal utility, subjective value and economics trade off. Are you a crypto austrian ;) ?


I don't know what crypto austrian means :) I'm romanian.


Crypto-* to say that you are that * without knowing it.

Austrian refers to austrian economics ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_School ), you basically said in one sentence the 3 economic concepts I said earlier.

Spoiler : nobody ever justified communism / marxism / socialism based on this.


I guess I might be. Thanks for the link. I didn't know about it.
