title = {The Capitalist Economy and its Prosthetics},
year = {2024},
note = {Notwithstanding its ruthless dynamics, the capitalist economy has the
flaw of deficient employment-generating spending. This leads to
unemployment of non-owners, individual suffering, social unrest and it
undermines military strength. To deal with these issues, states use
prosthetic policies, artificial transfers to the productive economy
and to non-owners. But the funding of such prosthetic policies –
through violent wealth appropriation abroad, protectionism, war,
domestic expropriation and taxation, debt and money creation – is
caught in dilemmas, while politicians are caught between
non-solutions. According to Gerhard H. Wächter, the history of
capitalist society is largely the history of this dilemmatic
brotherhood.},
