Does anyone else have a hard time imagining a world where "the acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives"? (midwest.social)

It's not a driving force in my life today. In fact, it blows my mind that this is a driving force for anybody who has their needs met and lives in relative comfort. In fact, studies from US show that happiness tends to top out at around 100k income, and making more money doesn't actually play any meaningful role past that. This basically comes back to Maslow's pyramid of needs. Once people have their basic needs secured they start thinking about self actualization.

I absolutely love this vision of a post capitalist future.
