Elite overproduction is not the issue. This strategic political narrative appears to be a key device in preserving the rent seeking privilege of the existing elites. The structural failure is the inadequately investment in the automation of labour and the democratization of its benefits. This is a critical symbiotic investment which is required to accompany the investment in human development. Hence our universities and missing Polytechnics are not the challenge - yes they need to be re-geared for human development in a new age of human machine, ecological symbiosis however the issue has been a missing automation industrial policy for radical automation to marry “universal” human flourishing. This missing industrial automation policy is even more critical when we start to factor in the economic transition we are facing for a just net zero emissions future grounded in a nature rebuild.
