Only if the state has a monopoly on these workers, the means of production, and redistrubtes the product of their work, equally. All of which would be unlikely. The issue isn't that work isn't being done, but rather how efficiently it is done and the means and numbers by which the product is distributed. The economic calculation problem acts as an obstacle (some say "makes it impossible") for planners to efficiently determine which areas of production are most valuable. |
It doesn`t matter how the distribution is if there are 10 robot workers per human everybody will be able to consume anything their heart desires. Amassing money will become pointless. If you can build those robots out of easily attainable material you can build workers that build workers they will cost only the energy cost as anything else will be done by the robots themselfs. We could build 100 Billion robot workers for 10 Billion people. They can easily produce enough to make everyone rich by todays standards. Its just a question of energy and technology in the end. Also there is the fear factor of losing control to the robots at one point.
