The main problem with the gold standard is that the amount of gold becomes a real constraint on production, even though gold is not actually used in production.

Is letting people starve among abundance a problem? I'd say so.
646.
by kaonashi 13y ago
There's no inalienable right to a starvation disciplined pool of cheap labor. If Amazon can't make its business work while paying employees a living wage, there's no sound economic reason it should be allowed to operate.

Currency and barter transactions are very different things. Currency transactions are based on credit, barter transactions are based on trading commodities without any intermediary.

An ungovernable currency sounds like as bad a problem as a poorly governed currency.

They didn't seem to use his comps… I'm assuming he had access to the same pool of photography that the finals used, but that doesn't mean they ripped him off. The work on top of the photos seems very different to me.

Probably intended it to be more of a comment on the size of the budget and the percent allocated for the position than the size of the salary relative to the market. That said, having been involved in a similar set-up, being the lone guy h
