We imagine an AI future as a paradise where machines do all the work. But there is a dark side to this story that economists are terrified of. If robots do everything, and human labor is worth $0... who earns a paycheck? And if nobody earns a paycheck, who buys the products?

In this video, we break down the "Invisible Rule" of every economy: the velocity of money. We explore why this wave of automation is fundamentally different from the Industrial Revolution, why the "Middle Class" is the new target, and the terrifying "Death Spiral" that happens when production hits infinity, but demand hits zero.

This isn't just about jobs. It's about the survival of Capitalism itself.
