This is excellent stuff, thanks. Now I have to ruminate some... Oye, vatos, dees English sink todos mi ships, chinga sus madres, so escuche: el fleet es ahora refloated, OK? — The War Nerd
I've also never seen a diary with comments only saying they'll be back to comment. LOL. It that in your new job description? "Must leave comment in every new diary even if you have no comment." Or are you just overeager newbies...? Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
I'll come back and make a comment later. ;) When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind
But hey, I can hide my comment if you think it's daft. Oye, vatos, dees English sink todos mi ships, chinga sus madres, so escuche: el fleet es ahora refloated, OK? — The War Nerd
regarding the first question.. it ahs an answer and I woudl say it is yes.. it really amtters... Look a th the preface made by Krugman on the classic book of Keynnes.. youc an find it easily in google.. incredible well-written.a. nd addresses your point.: A lack of demand can indeed create an awful nigthmare.. specially when interests rates are low...(of course. this is int he capilastic system).
02.. Of course an absolute gift-economy can be sustained.. no doubt.. in small low -technology societies it requires easy acces to food.... With present technology we would ahve very easya cces to food and shelter ... for all human beings... that's all it is needed...
03 You know what I think.. the capitalsitic world is quite sustainable enviromental with some fixes.. but mostly fixes at the scale of Keynnes.. that mean really a technicality.. to introduce externalities into taxes and price.. that would be a good way to make it sustainalble.. and jsut think all the world living with the level of Portugal will be sustainable..a ccordign to Earth Watch and other Washington institutions.. (human foot print.. and all that stuff). It is not completely relaible.. but we woudl probably here without problems for 500 years... at least...with Portugal average use of resources.
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
