I believe that in the near future we will harvest unlimited nature resources from the asteroid belt. And it will become cheaper to harvest resources there than in earth.This will change our economy from a profit based economy to a results based economy state projects space stations and mining outposts will encourage companies to pay workers in different ways than they do with money. Say you want to live in a nordic country if you work for so many years they will pay you by property in a place of you choice. Or if you work for so many years you will be able to retire to a mars out post. Etc...
