In the future will the world become one big economic entity trading with alien worlds? What's that fools name? Ricardo and his comparative advantage shit. It could work on a world by world scale. We could trade with Alien worlds.
Imagine a united world foreign policy on alien planets. Imagine tax harmonisation on a world scale. Imagine the future!
That was original right? I've actually always wondered it. But have come to the conclusion that once we are advanced enough for interstellar travel that we'd have nanobots that could manipulate matter on a subatomic level and therefore make things out of it's compenent parts so the economy would fail anyway cause nothing is scarce anymore and the world would be in anarchy. That is if humans are still dominant and haven't been taken over by AI.
