[Detroit: Become Human] What is going on with the economy in this world?

The year is 2038. A hotel room costs $40. It ain't the Plaza, but it's perfectly acceptable. A whole-ass android that can cook and clean and raise your children and do anything else you need costs all of $799, less than an Android phone costs today -- and the android is also a phone anyway! You can even rent a fully functional sex robot that can pass a Turing test for $20 an hour. I can barely go to a movie for that price in 2021.

What is going on with this economy? How is everything so insanely cheap? How has there been no inflation for twenty years? I know unemployment is high but the world still seems to mostly function.

I'd assume extreme automation- while more expensive to begin, keeping one robot manufactor going is much cheaper then paying 100 human workers- not to mention not needing toilets, cafeterias, break room and so forth.

That's why things are so cheap- manufacturing costs are very low, (it's also why unemployment is so high)
