You are dancing with a number of errors, so I picked some of the worst quotes to rebut. I feel that these are the most significant errors and so I selected them. It is not an attempt to cherry-pick your arguments.
““Our economy is suffering from scarce money because money is not “worked into existence”.””
We have scarcity of money because money would be worthless without scarcity. If you mean to suggest that there is a “shortage” of money, then you do not understand the divisible nature of money. With fewer dollars, each dollar is worth more, and so the price in dollars of any given item would be less.
““People will naturally attempt to provide labor that is scarce because it is more valuable.””
They do that already. Its called being well-paid or having high prices. This is the signal that your goods/labor are valuable.
““A disabled person has property that can be worked. And another person can work that property to grow crops. They don’t need gold.””
No, all they need is a verbal agreement. But what do they do with the crops? They have to trade them for something. So over the many various trades, we discovered that these shiny metals are really useful for representing value, not least because they take labor to bring into a useful form and do not perish. Gold is a money that is worked into existence. So is silver. Also tobacco, salt, and ammunition.
““I really want to figure out how to do value calculations in a way that gives each individual equal influence - to some degree… so that the demands of poor people can equal the demands of rich people. The difference between the poor and rich should be the amount of labor contributed and the quality of that labor. Value calculations should not be dependent upon wealth… and that is the problem I would like to solve.””
Each individual has the ultimate power or influence on any transaction that he or she is a participates in: veto power. The abilitity of that individual to transact with someone else, entails another transaction. In a free system, people would only get rich by providing high amounts of quality labor. That is because wealth is accumulated through a process of efficiently meeting the needs of “demanders” with a supply that is priced lower than the competition. Rest assured, people already use the digital marketplace to supply the demand.
““I feel that Chapter 5 totally disregards “money as information”. When you begin to recognize money as information: many of the claims reveal erroneous analysis.””
Money is a store of value. Prices are information. Think about this until you understand it and many of your problems will disappear.
““The loss of a consumption good or production good results in a loss of human satisfaction; it makes mankind poorer The gain of such a good results in an improvement of the human economic position; it makes mankind richer The same cannot be said of the loss or gain of money.””
Mises is correct. If you lived on an island with all the goods in the world, but no currency; plenty of jewelry, but no bullion; and all the paper notes were encased in picture frames and museum cases, would you feel poor? If you could drive your porsche home and get online and see that your bank account balance was $0.00, would you lean back in your leather chair in your mansion and say to your afghan hound “I wish I had some francs in my wallet. Or maybe some pounds. I feel poor with all these luxury goods and no media of exchange.”?
““Money conveys information through prices. And prices indicate supply and demand information. A person can acquire money through labor, and the money in possession is an informational representation of the person’s labor. If the person loses the money - then that information is lost.””
Actually, the money is the store of value that represents the market value of their previously performed labor. If the money is stolen and spent, the guy who received the stolen money isnt being deceived about anything except the true owner of the money. The value doesnt change, because a thief spent the dollars. This would be a lot easier to understand if you were thinking in terms of real money, but the prevalence of fiats in this culture allows you to abstract money as “information” when it is really pure value. The amount of money is the information aspect.
““When individuals own the means of production - the demands of those wealthy individuals weigh more than the demands of those who own no means of production: and valuation is less than satisfactory for the society. People accomodate those who have commodities, and the demands of poor able laborers are often ignored.””
You are contradicting yourself here, of course the demands of wealthy individuals weigh more, the information aspect of a large amount of money indicates that they should have disproportionate influence. Or did you forget your own theory? Who appointed you the judge of what is best for society? Especially in contravention of the information? I see what your game is, you dont like the information so we should all agree to use personal fiat dollars and destroy information. Lol I kind of regret attempting to educate you but whatever. Just watch the news and see what happens when money stops being scarce.
