Sharing Economy | A futuristic solution or A scheme of collaborative decay (P2 of 3)
What is Economic Equilibrium?
The concept is defined as a beneficial market-dynamic (component) of an economic infrastructure characterized by a driving force, in terms of both breadth and depth (bottom-up & top-down), of wealth-creating capacity and exchange. Now then, while collaborating is a qualified component of efficient development (a.k.a., brain-storming) there is little to no economy in an intellectual process without a productive, tangible, output that is either fungible or at the very least, economically quantifiable.
Sharing Economy | A futuristic solution or A scheme of collaborative decay (P1 of 3)
More and more akin to a Neo-Zombie Shape-Shifting fantasy the hype of the “Mesh”, “Pear to Pear”, “Collaborative” economy, a model built on the notion of shared human and physical resources, has one significant problem: Due to the models migratory/transient nature the vertical or horizontal benefits are quite narrow and often short-lived and too often accompanied by little to no contribution toward maintenance of the economic infrastructure upon which the model feeds.
Money Well Spent | War on Poverty:
For years I’ve studied and analyzed monetary/economic data both from the point of view of evolving/developing policy or strategic analysis and here is what I know; there are always tracers, origins of cause, in-the-numbers. The most important “tracer”, the most conspicuous component, discovered from decades of work is this one simple fact: When Government meddles, whether on its own volition or on behalf of a vested interest, in any component of Free-Market Economics the effects are devastating. It should be remembered that Capitalism is what becomes of Free-Market Economics post Government Intervention; in other words, Capitalism is the mechanism for protecting Interests who fear or oppose Free-Market Competition.
There are great wealth-opportunities in Government Driven Influence and the key road-to-reward is and will always be in Government Enforced Entitlement Programs and for one good reason: There is no accountability for success-in-outcome or failure-in-effect. I found the following article, The War on Poverty Has Been a Colossal Flop – by Robert Rector, a fascinating parallel to my own observations and I believe it is worth the read.

Lost Value & the Economics of Entitlement
Is there value in Demand created by a market? Is the U.S. (the American People) a market? If the answer to these questions (both) is “yes” then you’ve begun to understand the great economic battle the American public is losing and which centers on a concept which I refer to as the Value-of-Demand Principle (VDP).
Few economists understand the concept and even fewer politicians grasp its significance. The entire notion of economy centers on a fundamental attribute that we think of as demand. Without demand there is no command for supply and without your own economy (some “thing” you have or produce which you can offer to exchange) then supply becomes supremely meaningless.
Obama Stumping Minimum Wage Bump
I’m holding out for a time when a politician is publically shamed on-air for being a fraud. Picture this: The President is feeding the line that your worth more pay, that the minimum wage should be raised or that a living-wage should be a national standard and then someone in the audience opines; “if you really believe what you say then shouldn’t you take a pay cut!”
