Status based economies are fragile.

There have been a few waves such as the Beatniks where people say eff status I want to relax. Electronics pushed that off for a while, but that treadmill seems to have slowed down. So, I expect the next wave of young people to accept they can live well on a 2 day a week job. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatnik

Such is fine for 20-30 year olds without health issues or kids, but does not keep widget factories staffed or pay for pension checks.
