Human beings will always have a natural heirachy about them. Some of us are more productive than others. Those that are more productive would like a way to measure that productivity. Theyve earned more than the less productive. No matter how much of a surplus we have there will always be classes of people based on their economic output.

You missed the part where none of us produce anything, anymore.
Humans will always be productive. It's in our nature. Human action.
We will have more war. That's usually what we do, when we have nothing better to do.
Some war and some rapine and some burning of fields...
War is how humans deal best, with both scarcity and surplus.
Too many factories producing too many goods?
Drop a bomb on them.
Too many wheat fields producing too much bread?
Burn them.
Too many single ladies, lazing about all day, bored?
Well, we have a plan for that, too.
Sounds about right
Burning Ukraine brought back sensible bread prices, to Western Europe. Bread used to cost so little, that people treated it like garbage.
Now, we keep the leftover bits and make croutons, or bread puddings or dumplings or crumbs...
Burning Ukraine brought the doener price up to 8 euros. But the doener is still too large and cheap, and it's making us fat.
How many Ukraines do we need to burn, to get a 16 euro doener?
