You're at war, aren't you? You don't care anything about the economy or the common good. You are interested in one thing, your own narrow short-sighted self interest. That is the basis of capitalism isn't it? The globules of desire, acting in their own self interest, in effect benefit the whole? Did you know that such self interest isn't self interest? It reduces your interest. Your self interest will be served when you turn away from what you tyhink is in your interest. Then you will see your true interest. You have something here- I can't quite recall the link- but I remember reading something along these lines. I think it was in some material on the liquidity trap, and japan's situation. In some cases, (tragedy of the commons) an individual acting in his own self interest actually acts against the best interests of the whole. I think this might be an argument in favor of a post capitalism structure or paradigm. One that embraces the best of tribalism and democracy, competition and cooperation.
