Sit and try to put out of your mind what you think you know about economics and money. Then imagine yourself in a world where every day the prices of things go down because of the expansion of human ingenuity. What would that do to your work ethic? What would that do to your inclination to save the money you make with the work you do? What would you revalue in terms of spending your time (the true scarce resource for humans.)? Does that world look anything like the world you see before you? And the goods and services within it? Given enough introspection and Extraspection. You might find that the devaluation and the debasement of money is what drives the incongruence between the re-organization of value and goods and services.
