Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!
'If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.'http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/10/stephen-hawking-confirms-problem-is.html
