The redistribution Altman has in mind would certainly not enable the kind of rising standard of living enjoyed by a productive workforce—wealth would be “growing,” but only for the very few. Rather, it would bring about a neo-feudalism, or the transformation of the majority of human habitable spaces into permanent, fully-surveilled refugee camps.
Fortunately for humanity, I don’t think Altman’s vision for the future will come to pass. The advancement of technology does not hamper the ability of human beings to innovate. People will always invent new and productive things to do as technology advances. The fact that we can’t imagine the jobs our great grandchildren will have does not mean that those jobs won’t exist.
