This is the logical end conclusion, but in reality, we live in a middle ground where plenty of people have and will live in a society where they can sell their labor for a perfectly content life.

This is becoming less and less true by the day. Salaries are dwindling while the stock market is roaring, and it's already the case that speculation brings more income in this country than work.

It's not sustainable, capitalist societies always degenerate into a society of owners who get the majority of the wealth while workers get scraps. This is what's to blame for the social unrest the West is experimenting.
