There are certain concepts in the future that won't have any sound backing in reality, but still "works" in society.
If not, what would happen to the U.S. economy being Trillions in debt?
Are we, as a society, supposed to roll up our sleeves, grab a shovel, and start digging holes to "pay off" this debt?
Even the concept of "real estate" is completely fiction, but it "works".
Nobody ultimately owns land, but we agree on a system that works for it's "value" and the purchase and sale of it.
A faith based economy underpins everything.
Faith alone ultimately runs the entire world. Can you believe that.
When people "lose faith" look what happens to the stock market.
How real our World is and who works is very relative.
I think this has been tried before.
When the implements of production are owned by the state and not people, production seems to go down, unless propped up with the threat of a Kalashnikov.
