    Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

    Do It Ourselves

    Comment

      According to the Guardian:

      "The Lisbon stock exchange reacted favourably to the election result in early trading today, with the market index up 0.3%."

      The Portuguese Socialist party was today preparing to take power after yesterday's landslide general election victory endorsed its promises of economic reforms.


      To me 0.3% doesn't sound all that favourable, but I guess it's still an increase.
      "Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt Whitman

            No, you also forget the Conservative government lying its ass off to try and save face, blaming the ETA when it knew that Al Qaeda was behind the bombing.

              The wealth of the nation is not determined by the stock market. It could crash to zero and no wealth would be desroyed as long as the workers showed up in the morning.

                You're just trolling, right? Wealth in money is real as far as human society is concerned, even if it's nothing more than electrons. Wealth isn't just things, it's also obligations, and all of those obligations would disppear if the stock market crashed to zero, and that's a hell of a lot of wealth.

                  An obligation isn't wealth either. Wealth is goods and services and it's determined by labor.

                    That reminds me of the physiologists, who thought wealth was only created in the primary sector.

                    It also remind me of Soviet economists, who believed there was no wealth in the service sector

                      Money is a promisary note, i.e., you hold an obligation from society. Money is wealth in a money based society.

                      Consider a feudal lord. The more peasants he had, the waelthier he was. The same with a slave owner. They are owned all that potential work, and that makes them wealthy, even if they don't have tangible things yet.

                        The wealth is the work. No weatlh is destroyed when the obligation is destroyed, because no work has been performed.
