[P2P-F] What is a fair economic system to you?

[Apostolis Xekoukoulotakis]

Yes patrick that is what i mean. I also think that this is the only natural
- common sense thing to do. But i would like to hear what the others say
because i may be wrong.

I also agree with Dante about limiting private accumulation but I think
that if we do what patrick and i say, we will nullify the previous wealth
from affecting the future creation and distribution of wealth. Think of
this wealth like a ferrari. Let them have this wealth. the ferrari cant
make more ferrari s and increase inequality in opportunity.

(I am also in the direction of automating the whole process. People will
put what they want and how much they like to work at a specific job, and
the programm will automatically designate what job is the best for each
person and the prices and amount of products that will be created.
Engineers will also be able to put new production methods and the new graph
will be instantly computed plus the price that people would be willing to
pay for the new production method.)

There is one problem though.

Since profit will not exist,  it will just flow back to the consumers and
producers, we will have a problem of competition with the rest of the world
in which workers and consumers are forced to pay profit. If people decide
not to accumulate wealth to increase productivity, they will unfortunately
revert back to the system that creates inequality since in the rest of the
world we are forced to increase productivity(through the profit
maximization aim of enterprises).
