Maybe he needs to read some Asimov?

Anyway, I think the point underlying all of this is that what we ought to care about are people, and since the advent of civilization humans have been compensated for their labor. If humans are no longer needed for labor, they will not get compensation for such, and thus will have nothing really to trade with those (few) who have most of the wealth (goods).
