Here we go again in the Philosophy of Economy and this two are the border cases between philosophy and theology of economy.
WILL WORK FOR FOOD
see. it is only 475Eur!
This “will work for food”, was and is still, less now, is written on cardboard the men were carrying or holding in their hands in the times of Great Depression, some time, not while ago and it will come around.
The message of the subject asking to work for food is;
Look, I do not want some charity. Charity is bad. I want to work for food, only. The subject is declaring that he is willing to do something which is out of the money exchange economy. He is willing to work without being paid. If you think that food is a wage or that it is enough for participating in an economy based on exchange of goods with money as the means of exchange, you are more than a fascist.
The subject is declaring that his value is bare living, eating not to die .
His cost is food and his price and profit are null, for him.He has no value and he is fighting for the basic value, being alive and no more. He is less than a slave, a slave was fed, housed and clothed and cured.A slave could even be rich and make money in the Roman Empire.
The subject is a denial of a market economy, a rejection and denial walking on two legs. That is the proof that market economy is shit, no general condition from which one can make any laws, except that it does not apply for all, and that by his functioning it produces events and phenomena contrary to it, like this less than a slave.. Which means it is worthless in philosophical, moral and scientific sense, it does not obeys the essential laws of conservation.
The sentence “will work for food” has christian theological background, too. It subsumes that the person is willing to sacrifice himself for the underwritten law of work ethics , just to survive.No Spartacus rebellion against the system.
Lets see this. Different and evolutionary from the above one;
Hey Brother, can you spare me a Dime?
In this sentence there is a christian , by the core Jesus teaching , change. First, the subject thinks and asserts that we are all brothers. This is revolutionary for the neoliberal market bollocks especially for the calvinist talibans, because as we will see the charity means here that there is a free lunch, after all!
The beggar or a person in need is aware we are in the money exchange economy and he is your brother and not a slave! He thinks charity is good and necessary. Calling Brother the person he asks for a dime puts a theological sense of unity of the humans.It is the law by which the other, if he denies a dime, breaks the human bond, the arc of covenant.
The beggar or the person in distress who asks for a dime, can even think and this is subsumed, that there is a free lunch . Well, you know, Witchdoctor thinks that all is a free lunch, there is debt free economy possible, and that some are free lunching on trillions of dimes for centuries, and that is definitely not the beggar who asks for a dime..
So here the value goes external, it is the dime who becomes a subject ( in a group theory) and not the beggar, we have now two circles overlapping….
The price is even covered with brotherhood as the law. The profit is the theological christian profit of the one who gives the dime.Redemption, good deed, etc.
This sentence acknowledges the core of the economy in a theological sense.Not only earthly profit, is the meaning of this sentence, you can spare something , some money ,also not for profit. This is a non profit core of theology and non profit economy of the christian neoliberal model.
The beggar is keeping his personal value,his value cost is a dime, his price is depending on frequency of the dimes passing by and he has no profit in a monetary sense of money making the money..
Luigino Bruni is good on that, too.
How do you name the process of “earning” money?
This is fun. It shows the different time scale roots between various populations of the monetary economy. And, even more, it SUBCONSCIOUSLY determines how populations look at the money exchange and their role in the market economy.
The etymology is a key.
TO EARN;” Old English earnian “deserve, earn, merit, labor for, win, get a reward for labor,” from Proto-Germanic *aznon “do harvest work, serve” (source also of Old Frisian esna “reward, pay”), denominative verb from *azno “labor” especially “field labor” (source of Old Norse önn “work in the field,” Old High German arnon “to reap”), from PIE root *es-en- “harvest, fall” (source also of Old High German aren “harvest, crop,” German Ernte “harvest,” Old English ern “harvest,” Gothic asans “harvest, summer,” Old Church Slavonic jeseni, Russian osen, Old Prussian assanis “autumn”). Also from the same root are Gothic asneis, Old High German esni “hired laborer, day laborer,” Old English esne “serf, laborer, man.” Related: Earned; earning.”
FROM ONLINE ETIMO DICTIONARY.
In this lines we see the whole history of economy! It is not physics science for sure. It is heavily Master- Slave related or nature- peasant related and is also christian theological.
Like in Slovenian language, where you do not earn money /deserve money, but you “serve” money . You earn money in the act of “serving”! Only when you have “served “ (not served “ for”, it is plain serfdom) you have, de-serfed – de served (for) the money! What you deserve is what you serve!
In Slovenian, you do not “make” money. You “work”money. Without any notion of work “for”, that is classic working for money also in Slovenian. Money in act of “making” it is work money. You always “work” money and never “make “ it! Making ( in Slovenian) equals creating and that is used only for creating money out of thin air!
You won`t believe it, but this semantics changes the perspective and way of thinking of the participants on the nature of money and the hierarchy in economy and the group theory of overlapping circle makes a slight but different picture!
In fact we can definitely speculate that the population , being in serfdom for a long time, has a serf outlook on market and monetary economy, even after centuries. The consequences are far reaching and this proves there are no general laws applied to all groups in the same sense.
The Latin population word for earning is guadagnare, gaigner, and it comes from animal stock or herd, ganado in spanish,from pasture, animal pasture and from francon german waidanjan, waida-pasture,
French and Spanish for winning is also there.. and Italian of ”making a profit”profit, which is a latin word, anyway.
Conclusion?
Biblical; you will dig mud in sweat until you die, all your pastures, stock, pig,stock market, derivations are overlapping groups of bollocks and keep on digging.. your grave.
The Big Bang, from a monkey to a perverted monkey!
All is Tool of a tool where a tool is tool of a tool turning into a tool
Has the economy started from sex?Two opposite sexes profiting of the difference and positions and the “division of labor”necessary for the intercourse? Not to mention the fruit of this “labor”and the elaborating .And the woman carrying this “laboring” for 9 months of hard labor while the man was watching his “stock”?
The fact is that a part of the white cuacasian monkey discovered the dividing of labor, the division of labor and how one tool makes the other and where all subjects-persons and objects-utensils and machines produce each other. Everything is a tool for another tool which in turn is a tool for a tool and……. the civilization works as a grinding machine which in turn turns to a matrix and..
Witchdoctor is not a huge fan of mathematics, but as we see, the civilization by necessity produces a tool -the math. Which is a mirror image of the complexity of the division of labor of a society even in and through history terms as for Euclid on, the “function of”. So, mathematics is definitely not a way God or the Universe function in its beauty,as many mathematicians believe, it is more sex and division of labor, math derives from there, a fractalic proliferation of functions and differentials, WD has written about the Godel incompleteness theorem and , in fact, at the end, that is math and not God, since you know it is not known. The theorem is the final math application.
So, a group theory and overlapping circles produce a “function of” and that is math and they make the differential calculus. The making of a tool for a tool which in turn is a tool of a tool is a “function of”, This functions mirror in math.
And here the economy sails in econometrics since economy can not do anything else. It is , by definition, void .No Founding Father, except for the sex and division of labor.
The complexity of overlapping circles and the time dynamics and whatever else not foreseen, make the economy , in fact, not even
Worth being philosophized in deep.. It is the junk we live in, and its use is for being a tool of someone gain.Which is, at the end, the Oligarchy.
It is always a Master -Slave group dynamics, with more or less inbred participants.It is purely political and that is the only salvation of the use of economy, or, it is the only tool the masters rule has, apart and with the use of force.
But, since economy works in finite world, we can predict its demise. Especially, when we know that economy, in the process of extraction, is never counting the real value- the extracted material. Like gold, which the alchemists wanted to fabricate, the economy can not, Same goes for the water , air and the Planet, the overturning of the Einstein formula leads to nowhere.
The extraction of value- the material we live in and on, is never counted and paid for to the real owner.The Planet, Earth has not issued a bill for this exchange. So, value is unknown, the real cost is huge, the price is junk and the profit is the end of it soon..
Ok, lets ship it from the Moon or Mars… you idiots.
And then, write an talk about the value, cost, price and profit. Of this shipping.
