We will first start with a very simple example to make it easier to understand our analysis Firstly we start with a classical method of analysis, what we call analysis by elements If we use a global method of analysis starting with the study of processes (relations between everything, what we call an analysis by relations). What do we get Let us use now another example Suppose now we are confronted with the problem of a factory that needs money to avoid bankruptcy
What does this enterprise needs ? Raw materials, energy, various supply, working people with the required knowledge. This factory is producing goods that are needed by the population or others industries. What is missing so that this enterprise can go on making goods ? Money ? Why ? Because the buying power of the population is too low to pay for those goods ? What is money ? What is it used for ? How is it created ? Out of thin air by the central bank ? Why is this central bank not creating money to give more buying power to the population through higher wages ? Who decides when money is created and what for ? What is the effect of money creation on the economy ? To give money to bankers because this factory is not able to repay its debts is totally useless for the economy (Not for the bankers!), but increasing wages would solve the problem. You have there two different political point of view. In the West, the enterprise is a tool to make money for the owners or shareholders, not first to produce goods. In China, the enterprise is a tool to develop a part of the real economy according to the need of the country. There is still another problem. To remain in power, the feudal aristocracy to begin with and the financial power later have created various means to manipulate the psychological structure of the popupations using religious beliefs, the fear of the other people, the fight against terrorism, etc... which purpose is to intensify the anxiety of the individuals to amplify what psychoanalysts call the unconscious . As those mechanisms are at least partly the result of manipulation by the people in power it means they also know how to manipulate this anxiety. This has prevented any large revolt againts the system but, on the other hand this has made any necessary evolution impossible too... Even if, tomorrow, clever people would be in power and understand that this type of organization lead our societies to a dead end, they would not be able to change anything. The psychological structures of the population are « locked ». Those leaders would be toppled by any people promising to restore a situation where the populations does not need to face their anxiety and modify their psychological structures, even at the cost of a world war ! Among the most efficient manipulations used is what the west call « women liberation » (in the western way of course) . One should note that this type of manipulation has been used in the USSR as well as in the West ! What is the aim of this type of « liberation » ? First, that instead of ĥaving to pay the husband a salary sufficient to allow the family to live on it, this salary has been divided between husband and wife. But it is not the most important. Giving a greatest emphasis on the statut of the individual in the economy, even before the unity of the family is a way to « divide and conquer » . It has even more important consequences regarding relations between men and women, parents and children by dissociating human beings from their biology to make those humans « theoritical subjects » in the service of the power in Western countries as well as in the USSR. To understand the future, it is necessary to add to a good analysis of the economy an analysis of the psychological structures of the population and as those are the result of the social organization of the society as well as of history you need to study history from all point of view as well as biology, psychoanalysis, etc... What are we forecasting with this type of analysis ? First we have to note that if Karl Marx has made a very good analysis of the economy, at least taking into account what was known at his time, Lenin has decided that the kind of problems studied by psychoanalysis where problems of « bourgeois » and as such would disappear once the working class would take the power. Rejecting this new science and thinking that the « working class », the population knew very well its needs and would act accordingly, Lenin has created the basis of the downfall of the USSR. This downfall is a proof by reductio ad absurdum of the reality of this psychological structure, of the unconscious. It is a proof that populations will act predominantly according to their collective unconscious and not according to an analysis of the real world. Indeed, the real economy of Russia has collapsed by 50 or 60% with as consequence the premature death or the « non birth » of millions of people. The losses of Russia have been larger following the downfall of the USSR than in the second world war and are lasting much longer. Even today the volume of production and technology of the real economy of Russia is far under the level reached in 1989. One should not expect this kind of phenomenon in China. First Mao had well understood the problem of the psychological structure of the population and started the cultural revolution to modify this structure. Second , the Chinese civilization is a very old one based on a global analysis of the real world and will go on that way. We can say they are using a type of analysis by relations. The financial power is subordinated to the political power and not the contrary like in western societies, even if the situation is more complex and there are in fact various trends.
Forecast for the crisis in the West The financial world has taken over the power. The first use for money was to make trade between consumer and producer easier. However, producing has been quickly a secondary purpose of capitalism. The real purpose was to organize the economy in such a way that a few individuals could have access to consuming goods without any relations to what they produce. To get this result It is much easier to create directly money without producing any goods. At the same time as this sector of the economy was expanding faster and faster, it lost any use it could have had in the western societies to become a part of the economy only striving for its own development. The real economy becoming more and more a kind of burden or at best a pretext for the financial world. This analysis explain our position. We consider political action as useless because the populations are not asking for it. We think that the crisis is only beginning and that the only useful action we can make is limited to innovate, improve management, reduce cost to be more competitive at least locally. But we also think it is necessary to try to foresee events before they happen to be able to act when there is still some time left instead of reacting to events. For the rest we are fully aware that most western people will choose to give priority to their own personal short term interest. The result will be the downfall of their economy, a kind of self destruction similar to what happened in the USSR. Another way to see the situation is to compare it to what happened in Spain more than 500 years ago. Around 1500 AC, Spain was the most powerful country of Europe with a population about 4 times as large as the one of Great Britain. 200 years later after various wars and the inquisition, in spite of tens of thousands of tons of silver and gold coming from colonies the spanish economy had collapsed. The country was not able anymore to feed its population, its industry was totally outclassed by the industries of Great Britain, Flanders or part of what is now Germany. The population was the same as in Great Britain. Spain become a third rate country and has never been able since then to rise again. You just replace « Spain » by « the West », « inquisition » by « fight against terrorism » and « tens of thousands of tons of silver and gold » by « the financial industry » and you get the same picture. To this you need to add an other problem. To create money out of thin air comes down to change distribution of goods in the real economy, It is a kind of tax on producers in favor of those who create or receive this money. This is particularly true if this money is given to the financial word. When money is created and distributed as buying power or as a way to manage investments in the real economy the effect may be beneficial except if it is badly invested. When this money is given to the financial world this indirectly increases the costs of production. Since the amount of money created that way is enormous this means that nowadays it is the most important, even if indirect, part of the costs of production. As a consequence, the real economy is collapsing in the West. |
