El Dinero La Abundancia. Normalmente no compartimos nuestro dinero porque lo vemos casi como parte de nosotros mismos y el fundamento de nuestra seguridad biológica. El dinero es el ser mismo. Entretanto, condicionados por la ciencia y los orígenes de la separación que subyace en ella, vemos a las otras personas como esencialmente justo eso, “otros”. Mezclar estos dos ámbitos invita a la confusión y al conflicto. El problema es que a medida que convertimos más de la vida en dinero, más territorio cae dentro de estos ámbitos de dicotomía, mío o tuyo, y menos base común hay para compartir la vida y desarrollar relaciones no a la defensiva. La violación que sentimos al ser esquilmados es muy similar a la violación que los cazadores-recolectores indígenas debían sentir al presenciar la destrucción de la naturaleza. El régimen de separación nos ha insensibilizado a la auto-violación inherente al despojamiento del planeta y a la degradación de sus habitantes.

I’m not talking about adding curry spices to a burger, I’m talking about a full blown Vindaloo. My bet is even if you paid them and brought the ingredients yourself, the store manager is going to say, “Sorry, we can’t accept your money because we just don’t make curry“. Why is that? McDonald’s probably could make the curry. They have all the cooking implements to do so. Let’s say you brought the ingredients yourself, is there a reason why they couldn’t make the curry? Being focused Recently, I wrote about the Top 14 stumbling blocks for new businesses.

Instead of doing a single job well, what you end up with is a number of mildly satisfied clients and a mediocre track record. Sending out a consistent message One of the things that make McDonald’s successful is their branding. Now ask yourself, why is that? Concentrate on the core business For McDonald’s, I think the answer is no. Market failure. In economics, market failure is a situation in which the allocation of goods and services is not efficient.

That is, there exists another conceivable outcome where an individual may be made better-off without making someone else worse-off. (The outcome is not Pareto optimal.) Market failures can be viewed as scenarios where individuals' pursuit of pure self-interest leads to results that are not efficient – that can be improved upon from the societal point of view.[1][2] The first known use of the term by economists was in 1958,[3] but the concept has been traced back to the Victorian philosopher Henry Sidgwick.[4] Given the tension between, on the one hand, the undeniable costs to society caused by market failure, and on the other hand, the potential that attempts to mitigate these costs could lead to even greater costs from "government failure," there is sometimes a choice between imperfect outcomes, i.e. imperfect market outcomes with or without government interventions. Economic Manuscripts: Grundrisse - Introduction.

Economic Works of Karl Marx 1857-61 Written: 1857-61;Published: in German 1939-41;Source: Penguin 1973;Translated by: Martin Nicolaus;Scanned by: Tim Delaney, 1997;HTML Mark-up: Andy Blunden, 2002. Marx wrote this huge manuscript as part of his preparation for what would become A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy (published in 1859) and Capital (published 1867). Soviet Marxologists released several never-before-seen Marx/Engels works in the 1930s. Most were early works – like the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts – but the Grundrisse stood alone as issuing forth from the most intense period of Marx’s decade-long, in-depth study of economics.

It is an extremely rich and thought-provoking work, showing signs of humanism and the influence of Hegelian dialectic method. Do note, though, Marx did not intend it for publication as is, so it can be stylistically very rough in places. The online edition has been transcribed for MEIA from the Penguin edition, transl.
