“Inflation reveals the fundamental and inevitable conflict in society .
This conflict coexists with cooperation. It is a conflict for real resources, their control and use, the fruits of the earth and human labour and technology. In the modern economy this is a struggle for money tokens, although this is backed by force. As Marx pointed out this is a struggle between capital and labour but also amongst capital and labour, between sectors, financial, producers and retail.”
Correct. Except I would add: It is an unresolvable conflict…unless a third and unifying alternative is recognized. One that strikes at and changes the two dominant paradigms of scarcity and Debt Only with new paradigms of abundant Gifting integrated with Debt. One that integrates the dynamism of capitalism with the equitable intentions of socialism. One that is not top down but bottom up, truly in the interests of the individual and his/her freedom FIRST…so that the the business entities and the system as a whole can also be free and free flowing. One that more quickly and completely accomplishes the objectives of both the political left and right by reducing taxes and government bureaucracy and also distributing money and so wealth more democratically. One that by being truly in the individual’s interest does not try to fit man to the theory, but rather the theory to man….and of course the analysis of homo sapiens in that theory is necessarily a whole and complete one…not some skewed and fragmented fantasy like homo economicus.
