Capitalism Inevitably Leads to Greater Concentration of Wealth

Date: July 31st, 2012 2:12 PM Author: Ruddy filthpig Have you ever heard of conspicuous consumption by Thornstein Veblen? Basically, Veblen theorized that the reason why these proles actively seek out the lifestyles of the rich and famous (and to largely mimic their behaviors) is a function of conspicuous consumption--Marx essentially argued that until the proletariat liberated themselves from the chains and bondage of conspicuous consumption, alienation and subjugation by the rich will continue unabated.

Date: July 31st, 2012 2:18 PM Author: Histrionic Sticky Son Of Senegal I'm just saying that what really motivates most people is greed, lust, and the desire to be or at least be seen as being superior by other people. Capitalism is successful because it harnesses or exploits this in such a way that the rest of society benefits. It is, in essence, the "private vices, public benefits" theory of economics. And it seems to work, whereas appealing to duty or virtue does not.
Yeah, unequal wealth distribution does tend to result from this, but I guess them's the breaks. Unless you can find some other way of motivating a fallen mankind, I just don't see any alternative to capitalism. |

Date: July 31st, 2012 2:26 PM Author: Histrionic Sticky Son Of Senegal Honestly, I am a Straussian reactionary, but I don't generally go around saying that.
Fwiw, I think Marx was right about a lot of things, especially the effect that capitalism has on the proles, but I just don't see any workable alternative to capitalism. No matter what criticisms you can come up against capitalism, they can always just counter that at least capitalism works, whereas all attempts at Communism or radical socialism have thus far failed. |

Date: July 31st, 2012 2:59 PM Author: Histrionic Sticky Son Of Senegal Very quickly
1) you have a system in which the proles are completely dependent upon the capitalists for their livelihoods, yet the capitalists only create jobs incidentally. Their primary motivation is profit, and if they can generate profit by cutting jobs or sending them overseas, they will do that.
2) Because they are only interested in profit, they don't care much about waste or the environment. Worse yet, because the capitalists are in competition with one another, they can't really afford to do anything which might hamper their ability to compete, e.g., reduce efficiency to protect environment. So it would fall to the government to do something, yet in practice they are pro-business and don't want to do anything which might cut even more jobs. |

what really got me was galbraith's point about how efficient production is not really a primary goal of society in light of the fact that we now have to manufacture demand. this calls into question so many fundamental principles of capitalism.
i also remember reading something about how ricardo, malthus, marx and some other guy all convincingly argued how capitalism was inevitably destined to fail. i'm not scholarly enough to recount each of their arguments. |
|
Date: July 31st, 2012 3:27 PM Author: Ruddy filthpig exactly...capitalism fosters the conditions for the concentration of wealth by masquerading itself as a neutral referee for price control and allocation of goods. I want a just distributions of resources and goods.
Thoughts on Robert Nozick's seminal work? |
|
Date: July 31st, 2012 3:44 PM Author: Odious federal haunted graveyard nibblets never read it but i've read similar arguments. from a moral standpoint, i agree with the minimal state and supremacy of individual rights. in practice, i imagine this would lead to a less complex, less organized, and less centralized society (not necessarily a bad thing). but we are beyond that point unless these floating island nations take off.
i think the key issue here is whether "rational" distribution of goods = "fair" distribution of goods. it's as much a scientific question as it is a moral one. |

|
Date: July 31st, 2012 2:27 PM Author: copper mind-boggling newt It is wrong because:
1) Humans are inherently different, this means there will ALWAYS be stratification. It is funny however that the system Marx advocates, socialism, exacerbates this stratification by placing the bureaucrats far above anyone else.
2) Marx claims that the worker can only express labour in the market. This again is totally false. Every entrepreneur who started with $50 in the bank is a counter example.
It is also irrelevant. |

Date: July 31st, 2012 2:15 PM Author: copper mind-boggling newt Another brilliantly retarded SSM thread. What I will say is that one of the greatest misconceptions regarding socialism is the notion that "if we just did it right" or "had the right people" it could work. This is totally false. Even if you somehow manage to overcome the incentive problem (which is what you are referring to), you still have the basic fundamental problem of calculation. Without a market, especially in higher order capital goods and inputs, you have no price system. Without a price system, you have no idea how to allocate resources rationally in a none-arbitrary manner. You could have angels running the socialist state, they would still have no idea whether to allocate a new ton of steel to making bicycles or cars or in what proportions. This is why the soviets were gobbling up Sears catalogues. They needed atleast some for of price signals to crudely allocate resources, otherwise you have no idea if you are better off making a hat with cotton or polyester or in what proportions.

Date: July 31st, 2012 2:20 PM Author: copper mind-boggling newt "The problem with markets is that it inevitably will be littered with distortions. I can elaborate on this further."
Give me a distortion that:
a) Is not a result of gov't intereference b) Can be shown to be handled by your socialist model more effectively
"Second, markets do not take into consideration the environmental degradation that will arise from purportedly rational economic decisions entirely predicated on profit maximization.,"
Wrong. Markets do not take into consideration environmental degradation when the GOVERNMENT does not allow legal action on the part of people being polluted. Up until the 1840s if the nearby coal factory was producing pollution that was damaging yourself and your property you could go to the courts and get an injunction on the plant. The gov't however decided that it was in the interest of the "greater good" to not let measly personal property get in the way of industrial development and began to quash these complaints. Pollution is ultimately an invasion of property, if you apply property rights consistently you do have those polluting paying the price for their actions. It is no coincidence that in those times and places where property rights are least defended, namely the USSR as an example, the amount of environmental damage was MUCH higher.

Date: July 31st, 2012 2:26 PM Author: Ruddy filthpig Consumers need viable options from which they can choose and make trade-offs, based on a whole set of factors, like price, where they happen to be, and so on. Agreed? Yes.
Prices should reflect the marginal cost of the products/services being tendered. Agreed? Well, here is the market distortion. Often times, due to dumping, intellectual property thefts, and other forms of economic distortions waged by capitalist economies (read Wallerstein's theory for more), prices fail to reflect adequate marginal cost, and in fact, the profits elicited become a mechanism for the rich, core countries to dominate the periphery countries that do not have stable democratic institutions.
Third, Public policies (investments, taxes, subsidies, and regulations) should not favor one good or group over others--yet capitalist economies provide the greatest help to the rich and elitist sectors of society to distort real economic performance. |
|
Date: July 31st, 2012 2:30 PM Author: copper mind-boggling newt "Prices should reflect the marginal cost of the products/services being tendered. Agreed? "
WHAT THE FUCK? So if I spend $100 worth of labour digging mud out of my backyard, putting it in a dump truck and dumping it on your front lawn, that is "worth" $100? Get your fucking illegitimate LTV out of this thread you idiot. Value (i.e what leads to prices) are SUBJECTIVE and having NOTHING to do with the cost of production.
"Third, Public policies (investments, taxes, subsidies, and regulations) should not favor one good or group over others--yet capitalist economies provide the greatest help to the rich and elitist sectors of society to distort real economic performance. "
The only thing I agree with you, but if the gov't has already show itself to be easily hijacked by the elite when it is given power to regulate and invest and control the economy, how is giving it MORE control as you have in a socialist state going to change anything except make it worse? |
|
Date: July 31st, 2012 2:34 PM Author: Ruddy filthpig Do you actually think this economic system produces happiness, seriously? I mean, Aristotle believed the ultimate purpose of humanity is to realize the happiness of eudaimonic state. He doubted the likelihood of being eudaimonic if one lacks certain external goods such as ‘good birth, good children, and beauty’. So, a person who is hideously ugly or has “lost children or good friends through death” or who is isolated, is unlikely to be eudaimon. In this way, "dumb luck" (chance) can preempt one's attainment of eudaimonia.
So capitalism cannot rectify these inevitable human natural distortions. They simply perpetuate them by reinforcing the wealthy status of others. |

1) SSM creates thread making retarded claims 2) I destroy any feeble arguments SSM puts forward 3) SSM reverts back to either his original conclusion with no substantiation, a copy and paste job or something non-sensical.
You are now appealing to this notion of "happiness" which is both logically and empirically impossible to assess as though it supports your stance. |

Date: July 31st, 2012 2:44 PM Author: Ruddy filthpig The "central tradition" in economics, created by Adam Smith and expanded by David Ricardo and Thomas Robert Malthus in the late 1700s and early 1800s, is poorly suited to the affluent post-World War II U.S. society. This is so because the "central tradition" economists wrote during a time of widespread poverty where production of basic goods was necessary. U.S. society, at the time of Galbraith's writing, was one of widespread affluence, where production was based on luxury goods and wants.

edit: the conventional wisdom is if you attack capitalism you must therefore be a communist or socialist. conventional wisdom stresses the evils of idleness and bad resource allocation. we relegate one important class of production, that of the public good, to secondary status. we elevate production of private goods above all else despite the fact that we must manufacture demand for private goods to absorb productive capacity. |
