Someone has to try it somewhere. I for one won't make predictions, and instead think I'll wait to see if a country adopts this and see what happens to its industry, quality of life, and so on before being on 'one side or the other'. Most of the predictions in this thread are based on basic assumptions of economics that come from political backgrounds/beliefs, and I don't think that's an appropriate way to argue something this complex.
A lot of you are programmers, at least some of you can run simulations. Stop arguing with words, and instead concentrate on developing models. In other words, start contributing to the science or stop arguing from ignorance.
