The Capitalist Core: 1380 Corporations

[EdwardBaiamonte]

of course thats very very stupid. If money and credit were rising too fast relative to production of goods and services we'd have huge inflation. Too much money chasing too few goods.

"Some political economists believe that assets inflation has been, either by default or by design, the outcome of policies pursued by central banks and political decision-makers to combat and reduce the much more visible price inflation.[citation needed]

"This could be for a variety of reasons, some overt, but others more concealed or even disreputable.[citation needed]

"Some think that it is the consequence of a natural reaction of investors to the danger of shrinking value of practically all important currencies, which, as in 2012 e.g., seems to them highly probable due to the tremendous world wide growth of the mass of money. Their preference for real goods pushes their price up without any purposive (or explosive ) policies from decision-makers."

Feel free to counter the argument using evidence.

dummy you forgot to say exactly which of your dumb arguments you feel still needs to be counterd. Are you afraid to say??

Now adding you to my ignore list.

how will you learn if you are afriad to try?? Ever seen a conservative afraid to try?
what does that teach you?

what does that teach you?

To fear the Capitalist Dilemma?
"Like an old machine emitting a new and troubling sound that even the best mechanics can’t diagnose, the world economy continues its halting recovery from the 2008 recession. Look at what’s happening in the United States: Even today, 60 months after the scorekeepers declared the recession to be over, its economy is still grinding along, producing low growth and disappointing job numbers.

"One phenomenon we’ve observed is that, despite historically low interest rates, corporations are sitting on massive amounts of cash and failing to invest in innovations that might foster growth.

"That got us thinking: What is causing that behavior? Are great opportunities in short supply, or are executives failing to recognize them? And how is this behavior pattern linked to overall economic sluggishness?

"What is holding growth back?"

"What is holding growth back?"

same thing that held it back in USSR and Red China: massive lib commie interference.

You've gotten that answer 400 times and yet you ask the same question over and over because sadly as a liberal you are very slow.

The US economy is held back by the same thing that retarded economic growth in the USSR and Red China, massive centralization of economic planning:
"The team, led by S. Vitali of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, used a method of analysis often applied to connectivity in the internet. Called the "bow-tie model," the method assigns companies onto the parts of a bow-tie.

Inter-connected companies sit on the knot of the bow tie shape. All of the companies in the knot have control relationships to other companies in the knot and are themselves controlled by other companies in the knot. Companies which control those in the knot, but are not themselves controlled in return, are visualized on one wing of the bow-tie. And companies controlled by those in the knot, but not themselves controlling, are on the other wing of the bowtie."

"The team found a core of 1318 companies (mostly financial services companies) with an average of 20 control links each amongst themselves. These 1318 companies represent only 0.7% of the TNCs but 18.7% of the revenue of all TNCs. When one adds in the 59.8% of the revenues from companies on the wing of the bow-tie controlled by those in the knot, these companies control almost 80% of the global economy."

An Orbis database of 37 million companies and investors reveals 737 companies which controlled 80% of network revenues, and a core of 147 companies controlling 40% of those revenues. Among the elite 50 of the 147 companies only five are NOT from the financial sector. Some suspect this level of monopolistic control represents a serious threat to world prosperity.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

dear
1) how can 737 competitors be a monopoly of one??
2) how would it threaten prosperity?

As a liberal you are too stupid to answer so you will change the subject to pretend to yourself you are not stupid.

 

[georgephillip]

dear
1) how can 737 competitors be a monopoly of one??
2) how would it threaten prosperity?

737/37,000,000 = Monopoly?

dear, mono means one not 737. do you get that 737 is not one. Also its moronic for a even a total fool liberal like you to imagine a monopolistic conspiracy as if somehow the major corporations of US China India Brazil Europe( the auto companies for example) are working together in some secret conspiracy when in reality a child will know that they compete with each other just to survive. 100% stupid and typicially liberal.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Also, what's really really criminally stupid in Marxist parrot liberalism is that they hate the world wide "monopoly" of perhaps 50 million competing corporations that give us our ever rising standard of living but love the genuine monopoly of govt which has been the source of evil and carnage throughouot human history that our Founders recognized in order to create the greatest country in human history by far.

"What, then, does all this tell us about the nature of capitalism? First, it reminds us that capitalism is not a 'natural' and inevitable consequence of human nature, or even of age-old social practices like 'truck, barter, and exchange.' It is a late and localized product of very specific historical conditions. The expansionary drive of capitalism, to the point of virtual universality today, is not the consequence of its conformity to human nature or to some transhistorical natural laws but the product of its own historically specific internal laws of motion. And those laws of motion required vast social transformations and upheavals to set them in train. It required a transformation in the human metabolism with nature, in the provision of life’s basic necessities."

“The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.” (Franklin D. Roosevelt: 'Message to Congress on Curbing Monopolies.,' April 29, 1938. Online by Gerhard Peters and John T. Woolley, The American Presidency Project."

"A new report from the anti-poverty group Oxfam has helped put inequality back near the top of the global agenda, just in time for the World Economic Forum’s annual gathering of global elites in Davos, Switzerland. In particular, one striking claim from the Oxfam report has generated headlines: By next year, the top 1% of the world’s population could own more wealth than the other 99%. The Oxfam report – just one of many attempts at measuring worldwide economic disparities – fits into a broader pattern of growing interest in, and concern about, inequality."
