but how our économical system will ingest this

You mean how stupid masses could survive it? I have no idea. Especially considering that food and energy go up fast.

Ford once said: "Cars don't buy cars." The same is true for robots, isn't it?

Also note that robots are much more efficient.

Every one food calorie require (according to very optimisting estimations) at least 7 calories from oil and gas invested. And people can not efficiently consume and convert every calorie. They also require sleep and loose concentration quickly.
