post-scarcity

Post-scarcity refers to an economic and social condition where goods and services are abundant and easily accessible, minimizing the need for traditional economic competition and scarcity-driven behaviors. In a post-scarcity society, technological advances, such as automation and sustainable practices, enable mass production at little to no cost. This allows for basic needs—like food, housing, and healthcare—to be met for everyone without monetary constraints. As a result, societal focus shifts from survival and accumulation of wealth to quality of life, creativity, and collaboration, transforming how individuals interact with each other and their resources.
