They will work a lot less and have a lot more. Just as you work a lot less than your grandparents and have a lot more than they did.

Let me rephrase: if we all get rich, how will we prevent the Devil from finding work for idle hands?

In the past, grim necessity kept most people to the straight and narrow. How will this work in an affluent society?
