You are thinking like Isaac Asimov then. He predicted a future when robots would do all the work. However because there was nothing to spur the humans on, no incentive for doing anything really, society stopped developing, no new inventions were made, there was stagnation. Despite the robot based society being richer it eventually lost out to a society that banned robots and did the work themselves. (this is in Asimov's "Robot" series)
That is the $1,000,000 question my friend...
And your answer is?
I propose that a super computer programmed with the best wealth distribution algorithms, as well as formulas for the practical application of communism might be able to solve all these problems Croc!
So that everyone gets an allocation that adds up to the same value. Then if it turns out that you particularly value a South facing flat and can get by on less vodka... then you can log this in the system and the computer can organise a swap with somebody who wants more vodka but doesn't care about the orientation of their flat.... ETC!
Plus the computer is not prone to abuse of power, cronyism or anything similar.
