  • It's surprisingly tiara to imagine a world without scarcity. When people think about the end of material needs, it's usually their own, says John Quiggin, an economist at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. Scarcity is the basis of people's fundamental economic system, he says. This is the capitalist paradigm whose principles are, to most of us, as non-negotiable as the laws of physics. Here, Adee determines how would the economy work if everything was free.
