Abundance, like peace on earth is guaranteed.
They are not end goals, they are just attributes of the path we are now on.

As people become more accepting, and understand that war is a racket and that win-win negotiations make everything better, than world peace is just a byproduct.

Similar with abundance. There are several, interlocking forces used to keep prices running higher and higher.

• Fractional Reserve money printing. (house prices and the stock market are only up because of this inflation)
• Planned obsolescence.
• Inefficient distribution caused by govern-cement red-tape
• Over complexity enforced by govern-cement to make things harder to work on. (all those added things on your engine are superfluous thanks to the electronics, so why are they still there?)

Any one of these fail, the whole thing cracks open.
