I've played a tons of game about managing a city, an empire or whatever, here's a few;
Cities Skylines
Every Civilization game
Stellaris
RimWorld
Europa Universalis 4
Victoria 2
Crusader Kings 3
Banished
As I play a game of RimWorld for example, I'll start producing more and more resources, allowing me to reduce the amount of work a single 'human' as to do, increasing productivity allows me to a point, to have everyone enjoy recreational activity almost 24h/7
When society increase productivity, the amount of work doesn't change, the amount of luxury and recreation people can afford has also stagnated for years
So why is that? Why isn't it only logical for our government, that if we find a way to increase profits and productivity, people should have more money and more free time?
