OVER the last decade, China has become, in the eyes of much of the world, a job-eating monster, consuming entire industries with its seemingly limitless supply of low-wage workers. But the reality is that China is now shifting its appetite to robots, a transition that will have significant consequences for China’s economy — and the world’s. In 2014, Chinese factories accounted for about a quarter of the global ranks of industrial robots — a 54 percent increase over 2013. According to the International Federation of Robotics, it will have more installed manufacturing robots than any other country by 2017.

I also think we need to look at earth based resources as a whole and manage them for efficiency rather than for profit.
Making everything profit driven isn't working look at our politics and prison system. It's crap. It's a bad social incentive and begets the worst in humans.
