Thank you, John. I haven't read it, though I'm aware of it. From your description it sounds very much in the territory I'm grappling with, namely what an economy is for and what may be lost or gained as we reorganise society around efficiency and scale. I'll add it to my reading list.
Excellent essay asking the right questions. Have you read Edward Bellamy’s book, “Looking Backward: 2000 - 1887”, published in 1888?
