That's the hard part :lol:
We will have to see how capitalism finishes playing out before the next system can start to be described.
The means of production are still developing. Right now we are almost to a point where all scarcity is artificial and recessions are happening due to too much instead of too little being produced in certain areas.
It's hard because it's impossible. Humans are governed by the General rule power corrupts and the more power the more corupt. Some will always strive to gain more power. And nature is never going to be fair in distributing power.
I see capitalism as advanced form of bartering, it's just been philosophized and defined and the technological advances of the Industrial Age have made it seem new. communism vs capitalism is a diferance in opinion based on how good at sharing humans are capable of being. Perhaps I'm defining it wrong. I believe people will always seek to earn profit wether it be paying another to grow the grain and make the bread for him (as profitably as possible) or trying to trade a pair of shoes for as many posible loafs of bread as he can negotiate.
When you say scarcity is artificial do you refer to the products that fall into want more so than need I assume?
