One possibility is to give *everyone* enough money to afford a basic standard of living (i.e., basic income) and then if you want *more* than that, you can work. IANAEconomist, but between basic income and single payer healthcare I can imagine how this could create a golden age of entrepreneurship and art. Unless there's a serious collapse of civilization I think we're eventually going to end up in a post-scarcity society. We just have to consider how we want to handle the transition period. Basic income is one way to do that.
