'MPE™ 116' — PURPORTED SUPPLY AND DEMAND

A man's country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle. George William Curtis

'MPE™ 116' — PURPORTED SUPPLY AND DEMAND

The parasitic concept that "supply and demand" governs value is a further extension of unearned gain.

If a country is to have economy, it has to decide the war between the cheat and the principle of just reward for the efforts of production. If both are principles, they are not just conflicting principles; the former, wherever it is tolerated, simply becomes the perpetual and ever exhaustive predator of the latter, to the maximum possible disadvantage of producers and consumers alike.

Like all ethical producers, the only carpenter of a remote town does not say, "Lacking alternative supply, I will impose upon each of my customers the highest price I think they can or will pay." Like their clients, the carpenter expects that the costs and challenges of each job determine the same kind of costs they will have to pay. If it were otherwise, the carpenter's suppliers would be busy about the redundant purported business of calculating how they could artificially impose a false concept of value which would consume the coercive cost the unethical carpenter hoped to impose upon each of their consumers. If circumstance is the law of regulation, a war of unearned taking breaks out, with the most ambitiously unethical prevailing always.

In the end nonetheless, no consumer actually sees that purported value is increased by mere coercive circumstances. The only thing to actually see rather, is that cost has been purposely increased as much as possible unnecessarily, by nothing which increases value at all. All the while, the whole purpose is unearned gain and maldistribution of wealth, with production and consumer alike always losing the most that can be taken from them by the most ambitious means of dispossession conceivable.

So in fact, complete exemption from coercion and dishonest, redundant inflation of cost is the ethical standard payers always first anticipate determines their own just costs, for any other standard multiplies cost unduly. After all, if we all competed equally effectively to drive up costs artificially, the purported benefit of unearned profit would cancel in the fact the artificial multiplication of costs would be born equally — making the whole celebration of the false principle of supply and demand a vast waste of effort for its true, complete lack of benefit.

In fact then, "supply and demand" is simply the slogan of predation; and we can understand the advocation from the degree to which the chief advocate of supply and demand is often not even a producer. Rather than just reward for added value, they regularly merely seek to falsely control or to sufficiently impact upon supply, that by coercion acting against an existent demand they can extract the most unearned gain possible.

In turn, the advocates of supply and demand merely claim that "free markets" are determining value, when in fact they are coercively imposing artificial elevations of cost — in the end to starve the world for a higher unearned price, while the warehouses of sustenance overflow.

Value is inert. It is not a process. Value *justifies* cost; it does not inflate it.

The purported principle of "supply and demand" then is only offensive to real principle. It claims coercive circumstances increase value, intending on the contrary to increase cost as can only diminish value to its consumer. "Supply and demand" means one generation can buy all the land to be had, to charge their own progeny all they may bear — even thousands of prices more.

On the contrary, just gain alone determines rightful cost. Anything else is unearned, is coercive, is counterproductive. Supply and demand is the devised opportunity to steal; it engenders perpetual strife without any overall benefit whatsoever. It intends to falsify value in the vicious idea that value is the greatest cost a market can be coerced pay for its needs.

To practice supply and demand therefore is even *regularly* destructive and unjust to the greatest degree possible. It is not an exercise of economy; it is a crime against it. And so where it exists, economy is destroyed.
