Er... no it isn't... and even the most(I'd actually say all, but who knows there might be like 2 people with economics degress out there who disagree) leftwing economists would disagree with you.
For example, Water and Air weren't ranked, and were in the same level. Additionally, in a desert Oasis, you'd take the food. In modern society, you'd take the gold, then buy food, and a bunch of otherstuff....
If I tried to trade you a bottle of air right now... would you trade me a piece of gold for it right now? Or some money? Can't breathe money afterall. |
Um...yes it is. If everybody's a millionaire, then no one is rich. All those economic degrees & those economists can't figure out simple math & logic.
Why do you think so many of the well-to-do are reluctant to talk about redistribution of wealth?
Inflation is the de-densification of monetary value. Molecules when densely packed together are solids. When more loosely packed together are liquids. And when spaced far enough apart are gases.
That's why they used the analogy of inflation like inflating a balloon with air. It may take up more physical space but it's lighter & able to float in the air unlike the un-inflated balloon.
Density is mass per unit volume. To break it down, it's a lot of stuff in a little area. That's how money works.
And who owns the lot of 'the lot in the little' is the rich one. Making more stuff thus expanding the area makes the rich one less rich.
By the way, how much is a million pesos?
When I talk about the imaginary value of gold & all that other crap, I'm talking reality. Gold is not more valuable than air, water, or food. Never has been, is not now, & never will be.
When YOU talk about the value of gold & the rest, you're talking about the shared human illusion we've built around "money". We're born in this Matrix created long ago & we're conditioned from birth to buy into the promoted illusions to the point that they seem real. But illusions, perceptions are not necessarily reality.
Even in this illusion money is useless by itself. It is only with the exchange, the trade of money for the REAL valuable things of life that it has use. It is only useful by proxy. It's a middleman. A velvet rope. A bouncer at your favorite nightclub. Your ball & chain. Your prison. Your enslaver.
I need to eat & I gotta trade so many money pieces to get that food I need for eating. It's not the money that's valuable, it's the food.
I need shelter & I gotta trade oh so many money portions to get that shelter from nature's harsh elements. It's not the money that's valuable, it's the shelter from the elements.
But in the cruel game of money everybody doesn't have enough money pieces or money portions to get that food, shelter, or any other essential human need.
Then there are others who have so many money pieces & portions that they're essential human needs will never be unsatisfied again.
They control the Lot in the Little. They control the Rare. They have command of the density. And thus it is their destiny to have their every need & desire fulfilled. Because of this, it is the destiny of the ones who control little to none of the Lot in the Little to have their needs & desires unfulfilled. They're too Common to control the Rare, those commoners. Then it becomes tradition. Then you have overclasses & underclasses to serve them.
There's just not enough money to go around & the rarified folks count on that fact to continue. How can they be over without any unders?
The only way to solve income inequality is to do away with the money game altogether.
It's ZERO-SUM by design. In this game, Some will always have Zero.
