Enter your thoughts on number 730 here. Please, no spamming, trolling, phreaking, or defaulting. Well, as long as the US maintains its perfectly stable economy, everything will be fine. >In other news, 10 days til the US defaults. >>In other news, we'll just raise the debt ceiling, thereby re-stabilizing the economy. It's the beauty of capitalism. Money implies poverty. I want to make money obsolete. > No, it implies an efficient apparatus for monetary calculation (of course government controlled "money" is only so helpful because of the inflationary nature of governments). >>So money implies the efficient counting of itself? Doesn't that same logic mean that bread implies its own slicing? >>>Monetary calculation is about knowing were to invest capital to maximize profit (IOW give people what they actually want). >>> Money > Goats. How many goats do you have? >>>> 17 >>>>> What's "17"? >>>>>> 10001 in base 10 >>>>>>> You mean base 1010? >> You call money efficient? >>>money abstracts wealth - it's more efficient to pay someone with money than bartering with goats... not only because of the additional time and effort needed to keep the goats healthy... >>>>Which is why "banker" is a much easier job than "goatherd". >> Money only exists because there isn't enough wealth available to meet everyone's needs and some sort of rationing system has to be introduced to distribute the available supply. The implication is that there are people who aren't getting what they need. >>> You're view of economics is wrong. It isn't a zero sum game. >>>> Or maybe I'm a year ahead of you. >>>>>Or a year behind? >>>>>> University economics is all wrong. Try Austrian economics, it's the way to go! >>>Yes but who cares about them, they're poor. I'm glad the author seems to be enjoying Inkscape, it looks nice. America AA- Ha ha ha ha ha.
