Humana beings have always strived to improve their lives, by always striving for the things they want, not just what they need. This has been true since we left the caves and formed civilizations. Well over 10,000 years of history would disagree with you.
You are talking from imagination. They can get exactly what they want, nobody is stopping them. But you would not have the stress of today. No homeless, no hungry people. You could take an entire year off, you have the basics, then you can go back and work for whatever it is you want. No money involved. No other people that may not want what you want involved. If your desire is real - then you will enjoy both working for what you want - and the result. If it's not a real desire, you don't want to work for it. And there is no problem. My system allows you to work exactly for what you want, find something you enjoy doing. Not spend your life - 8 hours a day being bored.

Look here:
ZORIAH - A PHOTOJOURNALIST AND WAR PHOTOGRAPHER'S BLOG: Guest Photographer/Photojournalist: G.M.B. Akash ? Child Labor
Look at the China pictures in the first post. Tell me we need all this. Those children need to work, else there is no rice ? There is enough rice, we just have this mad organization. They have no acces to the basics - unless they do something, whatever. Build empty cities. Build plastic toys - that end up here. What "environment" ? Who cares about that when you are forced to do stuff without thinking about all the consequences ? Just to be able to access the basic stuff ?

I want - free access to the basics, and the work only for them. Want more - FREE TO GET MORE. Where did I say you are not allowed ?

And those 10000 years : it's a story of slavery. You say "people always wanted more". Of course, the slave masters, and then the nobles, and now - the rich corporations always want more. The slaves just want some free time to live.
