Poverty in spiral of economic efficiency

 §1. By some criteria related to Pareto efficiency, Social welfare is enhanced when no one become worse off and at least someone become better off. 

§2.  Suppose a condition where two person run the economy. One is employer and another a constant employee. Employer gives employee land and seed for agriculture production. Out of that production employee get 1/4 of output. First time period, employer gets 3/4 and spent 1/4 on seed, consume 1/4 and store 1/4. At beginning of second period employee has nothing and employer has +1/4 wealth and land. With additional capital of 1/4 and labor of employee new income is generated. Now again 1/4 is given to employee but this time more than previous 1/4 is gained and may be stored by employee too. 

§3. In long run, employer has wealth enough to influence the demand of any product by having more endowment  and employee  must follow that price. I.e. employer not only get what he wants but also hike price in the process which will make the employee or less capital owner in long run poor as he can’t afford or purchase less as he become relatively poor. 

§4. Now to follow Pareto efficiency, nobody should be worse off i.e. employer too should accumulate more. More, because nothing is constant and to maintain previous constant more must be made. By §3 we see that someone who is causing downfall of social welfare is again seen as someone to be maintained for his wealth or better off and smaller change in poorer is equally valid. 

§5. Here, It is my inability to see the reasoning to enhance social welfare by following this social procedures or understanding.

Sustainable development of Life

 XYZ whatever be the technicalities of a life process, the origin is, as I am convinced at this point of time, nothing but wish of Nature or who create the nature. The sole purpose of life is to consume itself. Consume is really the worst word in this context. Let me say to observe the beauty of itself by itself. Hence, we are designed in such a way with such and such purposes by the ultimate guiding truth which is ever full of knowledge of all kind. It can do anything (proof: various form of lives), it is evolved or it is ordained by truth can be a debate. Base of life is nature or life (especially human) struggle with nature to evolve itself. First one provide possibilities of re-creation of more sophisticated or more adaptable life suitable to the nature at that point of time, second is more egoist approach to life and claim nature as nothing but inert objects which are subject to enjoyment or preservation for enjoyment in future (as now discussed in the name of sustainable deve...

Ethics : Dharma of Individual (Yoga Sutra)

 Ethics as virtue-  it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society. [dying for group's belief ] Ethics as utility- it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society and more rudely exchanged in name of utility, often society can buy desirable action for society and tag it with ethics. [dying in poverty is ethical but to save life by robbery is not] Ethics of universal rationality- whatever action that can be universalized is ethical and others are not. collectively it again universalize social needs over individual {I am deficient here....} Ethics of social contract- here even an attempt to hide the social behavior and labeling it as ethics has been withdrawn [collective interest labeled as ethics] In my limited understanding these alternatives, individuality is easily coerced by society. But these definitions are not capable to define anything at all. Many things now called Ethics are borrowed from religion. Mainly non-violence and etc. can be traced di...

Dharma Ra Nyaya-1

 In no way I am writing with any certainty about these words or realities or whatever phenomena they are. But with quite a discussion with a learned friend of mine, clarity of thoughts seems to built within. However, from very surface reading and my own biases, Dharma and Nyaya have been same thing for me. Naya here is not a branch of philosophy rather justice in its strict sense.  What is Nyaya? In its day-to-day life, a decision by court of justice is itself justice. One can try to cry over and over yet in short run whatever a reason of court is will be justice. However, in truth, justice is related with what a pure human consciousness guide the human being as a justice is justice. Qualifying consciousness with purity may be a false attempt to define something undefined. Here, purity of reason can do good work. With hope , purity of reason coincide with one true reason by all human being. With a good wish, many have found to place great trust in universal reason or something...
