On the one hand you're stating t...@ Radio Dead<br /><br />On the one hand you're stating the obvious. Of course productivity is a result of human activity. But if you think this belies the importance of capital deployed productively, you're really missing the point.<br /><br />A simple example - let's say a large hole needs to be excavated, and it's a 1000 m3 in size. You can either employ someone to dig that hole with their hands, or employ the same man with an hydraulic excavator. By hand 1 man can perhaps do 1 m3 a day - so 1000 days to get the job done. With an excavator you can have 1 man do the 1000 m3 in one day (and sitting in an air conditioned cab, so less sweat and tears). Surely you can see the excavator operator can be paid more than the hand digger? It's capital deployed productively that makes the difference.MarkThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199883270652041621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-27487130031587503112014-02-14T07:38:22.902+13:002014-02-14T07:38:22.902+13:00Capital has no productivity-its inert by nature.Pr...Capital has no productivity-its inert by nature.Productivity comes only as function of organic biology,i.e human blood,sweat,and tears-guess you think bankers are the peak of our intellectual evolvement as well.Radio Deadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-10046397464335274542014-02-12T05:47:58.326+13:002014-02-12T05:47:58.326+13:00This outcome was inevitable once Ford had decided ...This outcome was inevitable once Ford had decided to cease car manufacturing in Australia. That decision made the Holden decision unavoidable and then Toyota's announcement was merely a matter of when. Now comes a major recession in Victoria and South Australia as tens of thousands of jobs disappear permanently and specialist capital equipment is sold for cents on the dollar, exported or scrapped. All supporting sectors of the economy will suffer, even ones that you might not at once identify. For example, in the tertiary education sector the TAFEs and Universities will lose (no industry support, nowhere for specialist engineering and materials graduates to go for jobs). The great unwinding is going to play out over several years and the end result is going to be a significant loss of standard of living. But do not worry, the government is there to help. Do not worry, nothing like this could ever happen here.<br /><br />Amit<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-10846722793017905942014-02-11T19:35:48.047+13:002014-02-11T19:35:48.047+13:00Hi PC Slightly off topic but is it correct that Pu...Hi PC Slightly off topic but is it correct that Putin has executed the technician that botched the Olympic ring display.?
