The fundamental capital is human capital; therefore the alternative
-- the ONLY alternative -- to capitalism, is slavery. I for one will
be quite upset if capitalism ceases to exist.
But, the details of the capitalist system are subject to change.
> As technology increases productive
> capacities, and automates the whole process
I think it will be a while before the process of invention, or the
process of creation of art, are "automated". I think that about the
time this happens, we will have to change our definitions and
consider the machines that are capable of such things to be people.
Live performances, of course, can *never* be automated. By
definition. Why do people pay more today to see live theater than to
see a movie?
