Instead of money? I would imagine it would be money.
It’s not that people stop working. We still need food, shelter, communication, entertainment, etc. Money is how you convert goods, and I don’t understand how you think that need would vanish.
But worker efficiency is through the roof. One farmer can grow enough to feed thousands of people. A factory with 10 people can make millions of a given product a year. We can communicate from across the globe without anyone having to carry the message by hand. What makes you think we can’t at the very least give everyone food and shelter in those circumstances? No one intrinsically has to suffer. It only happens because of human greed.
Right, even the Roman empire, where 90% of people were farmers, worked out how to give food to everyone. In countries where less than 1% of people are farmers they can’t work out how to get enough food to people while ships dump excess grain in the ocean to stabilize prices?
