Mercantilism vs. Capitalism
Mercantilism is not a strict school of thought but rather a trend in thinking that occurred in the 1500s to 1750s. Basically countries focused on state building, and that a nation’s wealth was reflected primarily by its hold of precious metals (specie). Whichever country controls most of the world’s resources controls the world’s power. This leads to intense competition for the world’s resources. (Zero-sum relationships) (Gold, Silver, Sugar, Tobacco, Land)
Mercantilism views that there are three basic ways to increase state power: a strong army, a strong navy, and a productive economy. To have a productive economy with high employment, it was viewed necessary for a country to have a large hold of specie.
The Mercantilist economic system is composed of three sectors: a manufacturing sector, a rural sector, and foreign colonies. They viewed that economic activity should be highly regulated because if it were let to run on its own, a nation would lose power and wealth by importing too many consumption goods. In effect, many countries of Mercantilist thought monitored their trade balance so that it would always lead to a favorable balance of trade (This is known as bullionism).
One of the main reasons for colonization is based on this mercantilist way of governance. Also one of the reasons that Christopher Columbus was sponsored to sail to the Americas was so that whatever lands may be found or conquered may be stripped of their natural resources.
Government policies were therefore directed towards a nation’s wealth. There were subsidies on exports, and high tariffs placed on consumption goods from abroad. Note that there rarely were tariffs placed on raw materials because they were “worked up” and then exported at higher prices. (I.e. Britain would import cotton from India, process the cloth and then sold it at higher prices.) Governments want to control all areas of profit. States determined routes and times of trading, gave out trade licenses, and controlled the selling of boats.
Navigation policies also were aimed at controlling international trade, and to minimize the outflow of specie. An example of this is the British Navigation Act which excluded foreign ships from carrying merchandise to Britain and its colonies.
Capitalism is a system where the government protects the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and property. (Nothing else) Capitalism features the desire for efficiency, and capitalists look for cheap labor, good quality and efficiency. If the laws allow, they will go to any country in the world to produce a good with the cheapest and best quality inputs.

Mercantilism vs. Capitalism is that Mercantilism revolves around the acquisition of resources. It is an economic system that believes the world’s resources to be limited and whoever controls the most of the world’s resources has the most power.
Capitalism is a system where the government protects the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and property. (Nothing else) Capitalism features the desire for efficiency, and capitalists look for cheap labor, good quality and efficiency.

Valuation is Expectation and Expectation is Imagination?? Accountants: accounting for the unaccountable...
Accountants spend their lives placing values on both tangible and intangible assets, accounting precisely for every change in value, and that somehow value comes and goes with an explanation.
But, Shackle argues,
People in a certain market for a certain product agree on the value of an item as to its expected future potential. He argues, valuation is expectation; (Just as in finance, the value of stocks and bonds are equal to their expected future cash flows) which can change from moment to moment depending on circumstances. “VALUATION IS EXPECTATION and EXPECTATION IS IMAGINATION” (Shackle) which means that accountants are accounting for the unaccountable.
G. L. S. Shackle, author of Epistemics and Economics: A Critique of Economic Doctrines
But, Shackle argues,
“The idea of an economic valutum arising ex nihilio or vanishing inexplicably is contrary to the whole meaning of the accountant’s operation.” (Shackle pg.8)Supposedly according to accounting, values are produced by tangible industrial processes: adding materials, storing, dividing. Value can be lost by aging and consumption. BUT, isn’t value something mythological/”an act of the mind” as he puts it?

John Keats
"In Poetry I have a few axioms, and you will see how far I am from their centre. I think Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity — it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance — Its touches of Beauty should never be halfway thereby making the reader breathless instead of content: the rise, the progress, the setting of imagery should like the Sun come natural to him — shine over him and set soberly although in magnificence leaving him in the luxury of twilight — but it is easier to think what Poetry should be than to write it — and this leads me on to another axiom.
That if Poetry comes not as naturally as the leaves to a tree it had better not come at all."
• Letter to John Taylor (February 27, 1818)
John Keats
Nasció en 1795 en inglaterra, murió en 1821, roma. Uno de los principales poetas británicos de romanticismo.
Sus mejores poemas los escribe casi al final de su vida. Libros: Hyperion (1818). La estrella brillante (1819).Oda a un ruiseñor (1819). Oda a una tumba griega (1819). La caída de Hyperion: un sueño (1819)

La Inmigración
Este semestre me matriculé en un curso de economía de la migración internacional. Es muy interesante, solo llevamos 2 días y quería apuntar aquí una idea abstracta a ver qué os parece.
Suponemos que existen unos 5 argumentos comunes en contra de la inmigración, las cuales apuntaré aquí en este blog luego. (Me interesa entrar bastante fondo en la idea de la migración (Legal e ilegal)
Imaginamos que hay una nueva invención. Por ejemplo, la invención de una lavadora. En principio la gente se enoja, pierden sus trabajos, pero no van a decir, NO PODEMOS USAR ESTA NUEVA MAQUINA PORQUE AFFECTA A NUESTROS TRABAJOS. No, busquen otros trabajos, se mejoren. Ya que la gente no gasta su tiempo en estos trabajos de mierda se puede ampliar hacía otros trabajos más avanzados. Así nuevos trabajos están creados, y la tecnología es lo que nos permite más tiempo libre y más tiempo para invenciones nuevas y en fin ser un país más desarrollado.
¿Qué pasa si equivalemos unos inmigrantes (Estoy viendo a los EEUU) a la nueva technología.
En vez de technología, son los 10 mexicanos y nos quiten el trabajo, sí, pero en fin nos deja con más tiempo libre, etc. para el desarrollo de un nuevo sector de trabajos. Esto puede influir al GDP de un país.
¿Te parece?
Creo que la idea es bastante interesante, obviamente estamos hablando de seres humanos y no la tecnología pero en fin el resultado es igual. ¿?
Buen Día,
Cris
