    In the modern era there is no value to Others. Slaves and serfs are more expensive than they are worth. Even Labor is of little or no value. The only value to life that remains is kinship.. This is the reality that our cognitive habits cannot overcome. Even The plague was a good thing. Famine almost as good. Wars less so.

    The soviet system was possible for a short time because the state did not have to pay market wages for labor. Of course both corruption and black markets form in both american and soviet models. However, whether soviet or american nothing other than rule of law and universal standing can stop the accumulation of rents in the state an its dependents whether private or public. We always get it wrong: markets are good, serfdom is a good, and armies(servitude) is a good, since series markets, mixed markets, and servitude solve the problems of innovation and adaptation, market limitations, and non-market activity. And the only way to govern them is the competing markets of opportunity and dispute: the markets for the KIND of organization, versus the courts under the natural law of reciprocity REGARDLESS of organization.

    There is no automation threat that I know of. Even if there is there is no evidence in history that we cannot absorb labor. At present the country is huge and its infrastructure is falling apart.

    @AmericanSaikyo @KamalaHarris I actually agree that technology is a major reason for low skilled wage stagnation. Progressives have no clue on that.

  • HOW IT’S DONE WITH ELEGANCE by Ferdinand Pizarro The satisfaction of preferences

    HOW IT’S DONE WITH ELEGANCE

    by Ferdinand Pizarro

    The satisfaction of preferences tend toward equilibrium in that the utility produced by the marginal satisfaction of preferences is never exceeded by the marginal cost of satisfying the preference.

    Markets for goods & services function to ensure equilibrium in private-consumption of consumer-goods & by extension allocative efficiency in capital markets through the production of price signals–via positva satisfaction of preference; whereas the market for rule & commons ensures equilibrium by incrementally suppressing the satisfaction of preference at the expense of peers & commons­–via negativa elimination of externality.

    Ergo, the law performs as a signaling function for the cost of preference to society (commons), allowing for the optimal satisfaction of preference under the constraint of strict-reciprocity.

    — CURTD —

    Curt Doolittle just going to walk thru this carefully because you usually have something very smart to say….

    —“The satisfaction of preferences tend toward equilibrium in that the utility produced by the marginal satisfaction of preferences is never exceeded by the marginal cost of satisfying the preference.”—

    Perfect.

    —Markets for goods & services function to ensure equilibrium in private-consumption of consumer-goods & by extension allocative efficiency in capital markets through the production of price signals–via positva satisfaction of preference; whereas the market for rule & commons ensures equilibrium by incrementally suppressing the satisfaction of preference at the expense of peers & commons­–via negativa elimination of externality. “—

    That’s perfect. I use “goods, services, and information” now rather than just “goods and services”.

    —“Ergo, the law performs as a signaling function for the cost of preference to society (commons), allowing for the optimal satisfaction of preference under the constraint of strict-reciprocity.”—

    Perfect.

    ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF NEW EUROPEAN ZONE

    —“Curt, Can you please write a post on the economic feasibility of banning imports outside of a New European zone? I want to see what the king of the hill process does to the proposal on page 67 of NZM”— Oliver

    New European Zone? I assume that means Australia, NZ, USA, Canada, Europe, Eastern Europe, Russia, (But South America?, India?).

    (Short version: easy for everyone except aussie/nz who pay the distance cost. But its easy to do, yes.)

    I’m not going to go into world balances of trade between the parties. It would take me all day to write this post. And I’m going to state the obvious that other countries would retaliate. But if you look at the list at the end of this post you will rapidly see that the USA and canada can easily survive it. The outliers are NZ and Aussies who are for all intents and purposes, client states of asia.

    Cutting out africa (minerals), the middle east(oil), and asia(manufacturing capacity) is entirely possible. and the result would largely be transfer of japanese and chinese manufacturing capacity to Germany and the USA, and the strategic transfer of the Japanese relationship to Asia, and an axis of japan and south korea that might perhaps ally with india.

    It is hard to choose whether to exclude or include india and south america, both of which are european admixtures. Russia is also integrated with (northern) Kazakhstan and imports 1/10th of its oil. Russia India and China have large trade relationships. The west would have to subsidize russian military production by buying their equipment as a replacement for the asian and middle eastern markets. China wold be able to build her military technology by finding ready markets middle eastern, african, and asian realms.

    Russia would roughly exchange its role as an asian trade power for the role of the middle east and asia in supplying oil and resources. And so it is russia that is the ‘power position’ in any such negotiation, and putting her in this position of power would tempt russian nature, but restore her to world power status which she desires.

    However russia cannot compete as a world power with her population and economy; asia as an interest in reclaiming russian territory and resources. Her interest given her nature might be swiss neutrality. We would have to buy russian involvement which would require american military exit from europe and a general comfort on the part of eastern europeans that is hard to imagine.

    THE ALTERNATIVE 1

    Limit trade to raw materials and food, and autarky on goods produced by transformation of them. This is the optimum balance of providing world trade in territorial differences but ameliorating differences in degrees of development of human capital by eliminating wage arbitrage (differences in cost of living and purchasing power).

    THE ALTERNATIVE 2

    The Anglosphere Alternative (restoration of the british empire). is somewhat easier to pull off since we are already autarkic with only Australian and NZ the outliers.
