Do We Want Equilibrium or “The Higher Disequilibrium”?

Another application of the Wisdom insight of Start, Change and Stop. The temporal universe is continually in process. In other words it continually changes. What that means is any static/momentary/statistical economic prescription for an equilibrium point is doomed to failure. The economy IS in a state of continual disequilibrium, that’s true, but advocating a mere equilibrium of statistics is errant. ?????

Why? Because to do so is to come to a complete STOP….when the economy and everything in the temporal universe is a continually changing process….and the statistical equilibrium momentarily obtained immediately and forthrightly changes….so that the flow of the economy is instead marked by continual friction and disequilibrium.

What is required is the reversal of the primary disequillibrating ratio of scarce individual incomes to costs/prices, that is, the ratio must become one of an abundance of individual income in ratio to costs/prices. This is the only way the economy can actually attain AND MAINTAIN flow, i.e. free flowingness and so be in accord with the temporal universe/the cosmos. The economy must have policies that guarantee this “higher disequilibrium”. It must attain individual monetary escape velocity and so be in the free fall of orbit. Fallaciously believing that the economy tends naturally toward equilibrium and/or advocating a mere statistical equilibrium both defy one of the temporal universe’s most basic realities. If graphed general equilibrium and mere statistical equilibrium policies will effect the trajectory of a failed orbital attempt, a sine curve…which looks a lot like the so called business cycle. Of course an orbit is still subject to perturbations from various exterior causes, but its path is so much more stable and free flowing it’s unwise to demand less stabilizing policies.
