Som jag förstått kapitalism är väl idén intäkter skulle investras i nya projekt men vi verkar köra efter en modell där valutan styrs till en krympande minoritet som lägger den på hög i stället?  Lön efter prestation hade varit önskvärt och kanske fått ekorrhjulet rulla på för inte ser jag mycket dynamik i dagens modell med mindre än man menar man långsiktigt laddar för upplopp och revolution som verkar vara startskottet för dynamik och en naturlig del av kapitalismen?

Harry Brownes bok (ovan nämnda) tål att citeras lite till:

I kapitlet: "Why there are crises" skriver han bla. följande:

The concept of national goals is simply incompatible with the realities of human action. Programs to pursue national goals never succeed because they require individuals to forsake their own goals.

If the national program isn´t compatible, it will fail; and the failure will be called a crises.

Today much of the study of economics is the study of government policies - because governments dominate national economies. To anticipate the general shape of the economic future, one needs to recognize the probable consequences of major government programs, past and present.

The fall of the dollar overseas provides another example of how the government creates a crises. The dollar is falling because many foreigners can no longer afford to pay the high prices of American products - high prices caused by the U.S. government´s inflationary policies. The demand for dollars in the currency markets is reduced.

At the same time many Americans find it advantageous to buy foreign products - as a lower inflation rate in a foreign country makes that country´s products more competetive. The supply of dollars being offered to foreigners has been increased.

To fight all this the government uses a variety of weapons. But this only delays the crises. The conditions that caused the imbalance will be perpetuated. And so the crises will continue to erupt. If the government had stayed out of the currency markets all along, there would not have been a crises. The dollars price would have adjusted to changing conditions in a gradual, orderly fashion. 

Instead the government tried to perpetuate an unrealistic price long after underlying conditions had changed. Once again, the government has challenged reality - and lost. And whenever that happens, it appears to us as a crises.

The net result is always the same. Governments spend great amounts of their citizens resources in pursuit of the impossible.
