It
seems to me that the
essence of
economics is the
myth that human
labor causes
materiation. The idea that our
work creates something more
valuable from something less valuable. What we end up with at the larger scale is all of
humanity squabling for
resources, and then
shock and
outrage that some
win the
fight while others lose...
Everyone labors for their own
benefit.
If value were truly being created by labor, how is it that
poverty exists?
