DunhillLights Posted 1/16/2009 2:52:41 PM message detail | The capitalist world system has skewed thinking to such an amount that people fail to realize that money, in principle, has only exchange value and no value in itself. Money is a means to an end. To put it more bluntly, money isn't going to dribble past opposition defenders and score us goals, neither is money going to put accolades and trophies in Messi's resume, or give him footballing memories that he can be proud of. Beyond a certain point, money should cease to have any additional utility for a person, that's how marginal utility works. But capitalism has blessed us with the ethos that once you're making thousands, the logical step forward is to make millions, regardless of whether or not the additional income would be needed to fulfill your desires or not. |
