RE: ADSactly Tech News - Does Increased Access to Technology Increase Societal Inequality?

in #technology7 years ago

This problem can be fixed, without 19th century socialism and draconian taxes. First, people should strip down patents, copyright and other IPR to a bare minimum and that will unleash a boom in creativity and prosperity beyond imagination when everyone can copy and reuse the work of the smartest people on the planet. @adsactly, thanks for your thoughtful post.

Very interesting solutions. Sort of open source the world so to speak eh? Happy you enjoyed the article. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.

There's more to it than that.

Even if this idea was to become a reality, humanity will eventually be filtered into the haves and have nots.

Yeah, that's true @jacksondavies, but then again the haves and nots are simply not a solution at all. We literally need many competing smaller firms, which will increase consumer choice and drive down executive salaries thus reducing societal inequality.

This is sound thinking. I commend the solutions put forward!
