My link to Oceanomicus gave my thoughts on the issue. If you have something particular in mind and you want me to know what it is, then you will need to try a clearer approach with a sense of context and one less mortgaged to your private wraiths. I don't see how your question relates to my beliefs, nor do I understand where you are trying to get to. We both manufacture (or sell?) a product that we both value at $1.00? Ten years later we both readjust our value of the product? We are making different products? Or selling a different product, preexisting? Am I poorer than what or than whom? If there are only two of us and we are working on a cash system, then what else is there to buy that would give you credit for the supposed extra value of your product? And again, if you are trying to state an economic theory, then please state it so we can see if we agree or disagree. I don't like cryptic questions that come from the darkness and disappear into the mist. You are old enough to formulate a premise and to assist the recipient with some clarity. Now don't get too serious on me. I'M NOT STRINGING THESE WORDS TOGETHER TO WASTE MY TIME. I don't understand where the question starts or why? I don't understand where it is going or why? An there is not enough information and no context for me to wheedle out a meaning. In capitalism, a person's gain only comes at the expense of another where there is exploitation (corruption). This is a frequent concomitance of human interaction and always has been. AND I DON'T LIKE IT. The key to the moral good of capitalism is that NO FORCE be used in trade either directly or indirectly. So my criticism is not for capitalism but toward a corrupt humanity. But if you are confusing my dislike of exploitation with a criticism of capitalism, then please stop doing that. Thanks.
