When we exchange what we need, we use money as a medium instead of trading ‘goods for goods.’ In this context, money acts as a means of exchange. When we exchange what we need, we also build wealth by passing on added value to each other. In other words, money functions as both a medium of exchange and a measure of value, as well as a tool for accumulating wealth. But isn’t this a bit strange? Although exchange value comes from goods and surplus is generated from this exchange value, the object used to measure and accumulate wealth is money, not goods. This is because money alone has the privilege called ‘compulsory circulation power.’ In other words, even if value is created, added value cannot be realized unless it’s exchanged. The ability to enable such exchanges is what we call ‘compulsory circulation power.’ - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Value is created through production and consumption, while added value emerges from exchange. An exchange is, in economic terms, a transaction and, in legal terms, a contract. Wealth is created when value-added accumulates. As a result of the coronavirus, humans are entering a period of quarantine. During this time, goats and deer are running in London's residential yards, and the Himalayan Mountains are invisible due to dust pollution in India. It is undeniable that human activity has had an absolute impact on nature. Your interactions and activities have significantly impacted the world, even if you didn't realize it. If you want to get rich, you have to stay active. You need to interact with the world anyway. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
