Post-Scarcity Economy

A Post-Scarcity Economy is an regional economy in which most goods can be produced in cheap abundance.

• AKA: Abundance Economy, Post-Scarcity System, Resource-Abundant Economy.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) enable Resource Distribution through post-scarcity production systems.
  • It can (typically) maintain Economic Stability through post-scarcity resources.
  • It can (typically) support Universal Access through post-scarcity efficiencys.
  • It can (typically) facilitate Resource Allocation through post-scarcity logisticss.
  • It can (typically) be associated with a Post-Labor Economy.
  • ...
  • It can (often) implement Resource Management through post-scarcity ai systems.
  • It can (often) provide Basic Income through post-scarcity distributions.
  • It can (often) support Social Welfare through post-scarcity provisions.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Partial Post-Scarcity Economy to being a Complete Post-Scarcity Economy, depending on its resource availability.
  • It can range from being a Local Post-Scarcity Economy to being a Global Post-Scarcity Economy, depending on its economic scale.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Post-Scarcity Production Networks for resource generation.
  • It can connect to Post-Scarcity Distribution Systems for economic allocation.
  • It can support Post-Scarcity Support Structures for need fulfillment.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Post-Scarcity Economy Implementations, such as:
    • Post-Scarcity Resource Domains, such as:
      • Post-Scarcity Food Economy for nutritional provision.
      • Post-Scarcity Energy Economy for power distribution.
    • Post-Scarcity Service Domains, such as:
      • Post-Scarcity Healthcare Economy for medical provision.
      • Post-Scarcity Education Economy for knowledge access.
  • Post-Scarcity Economic Scales, such as:
    • Community Economys, such as:
      • Urban Post-Scarcity Economy for city resource management.
      • Rural Post-Scarcity Economy for agricultural abundance.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Scarcity-Based Economy, which relies on limited resource economy.
  • Market Economy, which depends on supply demand economy.
  • Command Economy, which uses centralized resource economy.

  • NOTES: Even in a future of plenty, resource allocation exists. More advanced AI does not eliminate scarcity entirely; it just reduces labor costs. Capital and resources like GPUs, hardware, energy grids, and real estate will remain finite.

  • Post-scarcity is a theoretical economy in which most goods can be produced in great abundance with minimal human labor needed, so that they become available to all very cheaply or even freely. Post-scarcity is not generally taken to mean that scarcity has been eliminated for all consumer goods and services, instead it is often taken to mean that all people can easily have their basic survival needs met along with some significant proportion of their desires for goods and services, with writers on the topic often emphasizing that certain commodities are likely to remain scarce in a post-scarcity society.
