I just recently came across H.G.Wells Shape of Things to Come and started reading it again, 40 years or so from the first time. The first 1/3 or so of it is topical, even today and rang bells with me from "For Us, the Living".
Wells was SMART..I hadn't tumbled to that fact before. (duh!) Take a look if you've forgotten and tell me if you see what I might be there.

Well, yeah, there as a reason he was nicknamed "the World Brain."

actually I meant on the .. economic theory the two seem to have in common.
I have always passed him by and never looked deeper than the popular stories. My loss.

eh i was thinking more of independent i am happy alone do my owen thing survalist thinking or are this just a mainstream western rual usa way of thinking ?
then evrything was better before and world go to hell attitude/wilderness kind of thinking nto that im a expert on survalism:) hmm medical technlogy?

Well -- to one extent, you are looking backwards through a microscope at economic theories that were widespread among the utopian socialists at the turn of the 20th century -- after all, it's nearly a rewrite and tweak of Edward Bellamy's economic system in Looking Backward.
