"Can you speculate on the cause of the outbreak of civil unrest?" Gan Yaduo paused for a moment, looking at Zhang Yuan with a leisurely look.

It has seen part of the development of human beings, and wars have taken place far more often than their Glitz. The complexity of history is also much more complicated than that of the Glitz.

Zhang Yuan meticulously pondered, calculated, and tasted the historical necessity.

He said: "I think there are many reasons, but the main reason is because the management system, ideology, especially the distribution system, cannot keep up with the sudden productivity."

"Yes, it is."

Initial electrification means that nuclear energy can be used to generate electricity and can produce various substances, but it does not mean that resources have been produced. This is the Stone Age. Under such a poor condition, there are too many things to produce.

There is a question of who gets rich first and who gets rich later.

No matter how powerful the universal factory is, there are only 13 units. As a powerful 3D printer, even if the production capacity is very powerful, it is definitely not cost-effective to directly produce living materials.

The best way is to use a universal factory to produce various machines to cooperate with expanding production, so that productivity can be greatly increased.

Therefore, it is impossible to produce all the material resources that all Glitzers need at once, nor is it possible to realize a wealthy modern life for all people at once.

However, under the personal selfishness, the productivity of the universal factory is not all used to produce the means of production, and some dignitaries have taken the lead in enjoying the life of the electricity age.

There is a huge contrast.

You know ... At the time of the Stone Age, many Glize people were still grazing in the fields!

Originally, it was generally poor, and productivity was low, so no matter how rich the rich are, that's all. And under the social public support system, wealth is accumulated in clan units, which is equivalent to an alternative collective economy. Once an individual dies at old age, this part of wealth will be re-released into the society or its own clan, so the individual and the The wealth gap between individuals is not particularly large.

The rich can only secretly raise a few illegitimate children and pass on a small amount of wealth. Members of the clan opened their eyes and closed their eyes to this phenomenon. Who gave them the ability to make money?

As for the way of entertainment, people with high IQs play elegant things like mathematics, ordinary people do some carving, painting, singing and singing ... Anyway, everyone plays each other and does not interfere with each other.

But now it's different ...

The gap between the Stone Age and the Electricity Age is really a bit outrageous, and it can't be overstated to describe it. New lifestyles, ways of entertainment, new food, clothing, places of residence, clothing, food and shelter have all changed completely!

Such a change also means that the gap between the rich and the poor that was originally tolerable suddenly changed drastically!

At the beginning of these new material resources, only a small number of people will be able to enjoy them, and there is no way to make them universal. Therefore, those people with low social status had an extremely unbalanced mentality at once.

Zhang Yuan tapped his fingers lightly: "I understand, it is because of the huge gap between rich and poor brought by the universal factory, which has saved energy for civil strife. Well, the gap between the rich and the poor in the Stone Age and the electric power era is also a little big Too much."

There is a gap between the rich and the poor within a civilization. This is very normal in itself, because there is a gap between individuals and their abilities, and there is no way to live worse than others.

But societies with a larger gap between the rich and the poor are more prone to turbulence.

Because of the emergence of the universal factory, the "Gini index" of the Glizer civilization suddenly soared into the sky for two to three years. Naturally, the people at the bottom could not tolerate it.

Although the Glitz people are idle and free, it does not mean that they have no desire. Under the impact of massive material resources, everyone is beginning to move. No one wants to continue the life of the primitive era, even if it is one day later ...

When people ’s hearts are about to move, the government departments that were not so strong before have greatly reduced their ability to control and control, and they have become less and less binding on citizens. status.

In addition to the gap between the rich and the poor, there is a second internal cause. The original economic system, which was dominated by handicrafts, began to look abnormally out of date, and various economic policies and cultures produced a lot of confusion.

To give a simple example, the original commodities on the market were limited to primary commodities such as food, bone tools, and handicrafts, and the added value was relatively low. Many civilians rely on hand-made production of these commodities. After tens of thousands of years, they have become very stable.

The value-added products produced from the universal factory are relatively high. In this Stone Age, the added value of a car should even be so high that no one can afford it!

The impact of a large number of new products has led everyone to want to buy the latest products.

The prices of the original goods fell sharply, and low-value goods could not be sold at all. The chaos of monetary policy quickly led to deflation and the economy was completely paralyzed.

The economic collapse has also caused some craftsmen businessmen to lose money and start to support themselves.

With the development of science and technology, there are people who cannot support themselves. This phenomenon is incredible but taken for granted. After all, the quality and working abilities of most ordinary people are still in the Stone Age, and there is no way to keep up with the times. They can only do such a simple job of handicrafts. Now suddenly the handicrafts are worthless and they are out of work.

At that time, the government did not have enough experience and organizational capabilities to handle this kind of economic crisis. The response was always slow, resulting in the entire crisis becoming bigger and bigger.

These executives have no such economics in their minds, and don't know why more and more people are in poverty.

This group of poor people who lost their jobs either left the city and continued to live as primitive people ...

Or ... to fulfill one's demands through violence!

"These two reasons are just like two springs. The tighter they are pressed, the stronger the force is." Zhang Yuan sighed and looked at the white ceiling, meditating, meditating ...

It ’s a pity that the interstellar civilization only taught them some scientific knowledge, but there is no knowledge about the system ... Even if the Glitz people are no matter how clever they are, they have never experienced it, they ca n’t know anything about it, more Impossible to come over.

The development of civilization has not always been achieved overnight. Science and technology have developed, but external power has been leaped forward without the support of internal power. It is equivalent to a hollow tree that looks tall and mighty. In fact, it collapses when it touches, or even directly Come down.
