your primary mistake was assuming that once such a technology exists, the economy would be recognizable in any way, shape, or form.
you just, in one stroke, removed mortality in any reasonable way, created a post-scarcity society, and resolved every physical differentiator between people.
our entire civilization as we know it would crumble and be reborn in the space of a few short years.
