Subject: [OPE-L] Re: Historical, real and current costs
"From Andrew's latest response to my questions, I think I now understand what
he means above. I.e. in his illustration workers can use their wages to
acquire all of the stocks in existence *if and only if* the stocks in
existence on March 14 are less than the 100 widgets produced on 3/14."
Not really. The wages allow them to acquire only 99 widgets, so if stocks
exceed 99, they can't buy them all. But if fewer than 99 widgets were
produced on 3/14, they could acquire more than the amount produced.
"In this illustration, we're not dealing with "reality"."
I stand by my statement.
Ciao
Andrew
