It's really interesting to listen to the national
news right now and be reminded how many people are dedicated just to moving
"money" around.

Yeah, but the system is already failing with 6 billion, so
there is no WAY we are going to reach 9 billion in 2050 without a Black Swan
(miracle).
The number isn't that important, anyway. What matters is how
much food is being produced per person, and how many people are being used to
do it. If food is 40% of the necessity of living (water included, then 20% for
shelter and 20% for clothing and 20% caring for those who can't care for
themselves-babies, elderly, etc), then 40% of the people should be engaged in
producing it, or at least 40% of their money should be spent on it, to pay for
the 40% of their life that it is worth.
That 40% is coming from
somewhere, mostly from the future right now.
Humans will be paying it,
one way or another; even if it means reducing our numbers to fit the number
that are producing food without stealing it from the future.
