How does "pro-business" become so gloriously anti-social?

Question

"pro-growth"

Competitive enterprise and the ordinary mix of disparity are not problematic at all.

And yet I witness a splendidly simple kind of worship of something that is a whole other animal altogether somehow.
Our political arena oozes with it like a hemoraging hemopheliac wandering aimlessly about in dread of the slightest bump.

This is a difficult question of course, to find the words for what I want to ask. I will probably have to reword it. But I'm giving it a first shot for right now.

Your best thoughts

Your half-thoughts,
all greatly appreciated.

It is as if the wrath of the gods will punish a nation for planning Anything.

Exporting of democracy. Now there's a theme. Good new place to start. Reading... I like where this is going.

"When any otherwise sound perspective- "

Oh, that's just excellent. I love it.
It fits well on how desparate abrupt ideologic /revolutionary forcing of markets gave such failure in the past century too.

Beautiful!
Balanced.

Answer 1

The United States' exporting of "democracy" is the dissemination of global capitalism. Global capitalism, what much of the world calls neo-liberalism, demands huge and continued exploitation of natural resources. The mass production of goods and services for the purpose of ever-increasing profits requires that commodities be quickly available so that they may be exchanged for more excess capital, i.e., surplus value or profit. This cycle must be repeated over and over for profits to not only continue, but to increase. Elizabeth Martinez and Arnoldo García, writing in "What is neo-liberalism? A brief definition" (Global Economy 101, 2000) point out the five aspects of neo-liberalism:

The rule of the market.

Cutting expenditure for social services.

Deregulation.

Privatisation

Eliminating the concept of "the public good" or "community".

The process of transforming money into commodities, then commodities into money necessitates that there exist a continual demand for the commodity. It does not matter whether the commodity is needed, only that that it be sold. That is, there needs to be a demand for the product. It does not matter whether the demand is real or contrived. The continuous demand for commodities requires that the consumption of the natural resources that make it possible not only continue, but that the rate of consumption continues to increase along with it. It does not matter that people die as a consequence of the commodity-money-commodity exchange.

War is a commodity as are the weapons that make it possible. It is inconsequential that civilians die in a war like Iraq which has been going in since 1991. "Shock and awe" showed the world that people are of little concern to neo-liberalism. What matters is that the supply of products that make war possible be consumed so that more war products can be produced. More war goods produced and sold means more profit. Fighting a nebulous unending war on "terrorism" insures that war and profit continue in perpetuity. "Terrorism" has replaced "communism" as a reason to continue the military industrial complex humming. Nations with economies that survive on for-profit war making are not bothered by the consequences of war, the collateral damage. It does not matter if one-half million Iraqi children die as a result of sanctions. It does not matter that people become contaminated with depleted uranium? It does not matter that hundreds-of-thousands, or millions of civilians die. It does not matter that US war casualties come home in boxes in the darkness of night. People who do not serve the neo-liberalism system are impediments to the continuous process of the commodity exchange system. Surplus value matters. Human beings do not.

Answer 2

A large percentage of business was not pro social or anti-social, than along came Reagan and Republicans, and if you you did good pro social policies using magic wand people could use money you put aside for employee pensions and health care-- to buy your business and f**^ employees. NAFTA and fast track produced trade policies that give us third world working conditions. Changing definition of long and short term investment and increasing detectability or lowing taxes on short term rewarded those that just wanted fast buck and F society. Get rid of fing greedy hogs and business gets along nicely with society, but Look at the carnage W Buffet has caused along with many greed is good venture capulateist. Through out most of USA History they were held in check with laws. These people would not invest in the first place if they were not going to make some money. It was mostly Republicans with some Democrats that let the FGH take over.

Answer 4

Your English is not very good,but when competitive enterprise is accountable for thousands upon thousands of deaths,how can it be considered a good thing?

Answer 5

When any otherwise sound perspective--in economics or anything else--ceases to be a reasoned approach and degenrates into an ideological doctrine bereft of logic or judgement,, and immune to challenge or dissent it becomes destructive.
