galbraith ['dean of economists'] says that capital formation is highest [= money cheapest] in egalitarian states eg scandinavia - & zero in extreme richpoor states eg middle east

note the distribution does not alter the AMOUNT of money

i guess that capital formation [savings] is highest in egalitarian states because there is a PLATEAU of success for everyone who works - when ppl arrive & see they have arrived [equal pay for equal work, no pay for no work ie no overpay, no work for no pay ie no underpay] they can relax & save

they are not: on a steep slippery slope between wealth & poverty, having to claw always to keep position - the safety net is just below all, there is no overwealth to demoralise, to belittle avg returns for avg work, no poverty to have to claw away from, there are low expenses & stresses of poverty & wealth [war & crime], no overpower above to fight off

for instance, when people are really wealthy, the fact that they have money means they have a higher ability to make more money more easily than those without money. Like, though investments and stuff like that (a person with $1,000,000 can easily make $2,000 in one day at the stock market, whereas a person with $1,000 could only easiy make $2...). And other examples are banks that use things like fractional reserve banking to use the fact that they have money to make more money. Is there a term for this characteristic of money (the charactersitic of how having money makes money)? Or is it something that does not have a name. I know it's a wierd question and a little vague, but I think you get what I am asking.

ti: the 2 things in a transaction HAVE TO BE of unequal workvalue [have to contain different amounts of work], ie have to be x & x+y
so EVERY transaction HAS TO BE a fair-exchange-no-robbery [x for x] plus a 'robbery' [equal to y]
over trillions of transactions [billions/day] over time, there HAS TO grow up a bellshaped curve of net gain & loss from transaction - ie, a few gaining or losing big, all the rest gaining or losing some - this HAS to stretch & widen with every transaction - ie, overpay/underpay will evergrow
this MUST become visible at some time, & be resented, as the [sometimes unwitting] injustice/theft it is
this violence MUST evergrow, both as the injustice/theft evergrows, & as the two sides fight, & develop everbigger weapons to throw, trying to win
this MUST arrive at extinction in time, if the ocean of inequity is not calmed by the oil of limited-to-justice fortunes [max. earnable, ie, workmade f.s] & equal spreadng of the overf.s

only real answers pls

I want to know what city is the most desolate. What city has the most vacant lots and abandoned buildings. What city is nearly a complete ghost town. New York City has suffered from urban blight 30 years ago, but New York City has changed itself so fast that you would never imagine the blight ever happening. I want to see what real blight looks like. Can anyone tell me what city that is.

FY 2002 VA-HUD APPROPRIATIONS BILL REDUCES RESOURCES FOR PUBLIC HOUSING AND HAMPERS EFFORTS TO IMPROVE HOUSING QUALITY

Eight and a half months after President Bush released his Federal budget blueprint, which proposed cutting the Public Housing Capital Fund by $800 million and eliminating the $310 million Public Housing Drug Elimination Grant program, Congress finally passed a HUD budget that will result in a funding reduction for all public housing of approximately 3% from last years' amounts. On November 6, the VA-HUD Conference Committee agreed to the Conference Report on the FY 2002 VA-HUD Appropriations. The House overwhelmingly passed the bill, 401-18, on Thursday, November 8, 2001. That same day, the Senate passed the measure, 87-7.

While the bill is an improvement over the original ...., it still leaves agencies and their residents woefully shortchanged. The Conference Committee rejected the President's proposed dramatic cuts .
or was it an avalanche?

It will obviously never happen in our lifetime because the corporate bosses have such power and political persuasion, all I ask is, IS IT FAIR to divide the profits amongst the people who created that wealth in the first place?

I mean, when you see a demand curve the theory tells you that you can show the actual demand for a good and put it in a graph. Is it really possible? Or is it just a theorethical device with no application in real life?
