Democratic Socialism and MMT Beyond AI
The day machines do the work, and people can no longer buy. Where does the market’s loop break?
What if the rapid evolution of AI and robots continues for a long time to come? This book is one long thought experiment that starts from that single assumption.
We work and earn; we earn and buy. Because things are bought, people are hired again. How long can this cycle, the market’s loop, hold in a world where machines keep taking over human work?
The Diagnosis half stands on real data, court rulings, and institutions. Through a thought experiment set in a society at 50% unemployment, it traces where, and why, the loop begins to break. What comes into view is not a crisis of jobs but a crisis of distribution. What will AI change? Can capitalism adapt? And whose is AI? Step by step, the question narrows.
The Design half takes the reasoning further. Using democratic socialism, with its weight on social security, and MMT, the theory rewriting how we think about public finance, it draws a blueprint for an automated society in which no one falls into poverty. What do we deliver? Who decides, and how? What do we call abundance? The path of transition: order, universalism, and the making of a majority.
The premises are borrowed from reality; the conclusion is offered as a blueprint. No one yet holds the answer. The one who chooses is you, the reader.
