What to do about that will become one of most difficult problems of the next century.

I assume you mean of this century. And no firm or combination of firms will solve it. They should, firms will mostly be destroyed if the economy is destroyed by the collapse of consumer demand. But it is too far outside the usual incentive and culture of business, all they will see is an imperative to dump workers or perish. So its a public problem that must be solved by insightful creative lawmaking. Congress seem up to that? I predict the economic death spiral will take hold way before anything can be done to counter it.
