I've been thinking about this recently as well. Market economy is simply a way for the humans to efficiently produce (via specialization) and redistribute (via trading) goods and services. There were other economies that lost to it (palace, planned...). If it no longer serves its purpose (because the goods it's producing are no longer reaching people), then it should be replaced with a new system.

But if it (including the small selection of humans that still benefit from it) can defend itself (by producing murderdrone swarms, for example), then we humans are screwed.
