E' una forzatura logica il considerare lo scambio come una forma di produzione. Lo scambio è un'azione economica di tipo strumentale, ed è al servizio sia del consumo che della produzione. E' in sostanza lo strumento che permette l'interazione tra le azioni che i diversi agenti economici pongono in essere nel perseguimento delle loro preferenze; e quest'ultime possono essere indifferentemente orientate sia la consumo che alla produzione. Non si può considerare lo scambio solo come fattore di produzione; se lo si considera tale, si deve poi considerarlo anche come fattore di consumo. Insomma, lo scambio è sicuramente un fattore di produzione, ma non solo di produzione. Si può anche accettare di porre l’accento sull’uno, ma non si può obliare completamente l’altro. Lo scambio permea di sé anche il consumo. Esso è il come, il mezzo con cui sia la produzione che il consumo concretamente avvengono; una funzione strumentale irrinunciabile per entrambe le attività economiche fondamentali. La tesi dei due Autori secondo cui la Moneta sarebbe configurabile come bene di consumo solo quando non verrebbe usata come tale, come denaro insomma, non è condivisibile. Dal punto di vista dell’individualità agente, il denaro usato per acquistare beni di consumo viene consumato. | Translation - English
Considering exchange as a form of production would be straining the logic. Exchange is an economical action of the instrumental type, and serves both the consumption and the production. It is, in itself, the instrument that allows the interaction between the actions that the different economic agents carry out in the pursuit of their goals; goals that can be both consumption- and production-oriented. One cannot think of exchange as a mere production factor; if it were so, one should also consider it a consumption factor. Exchange, therefore, is definitely a production factor, but not only that. We could eventually emphasize the one, but not rule out the other entirely. Exchange permeates with itself the consumption too. It is the how, the mean through which both production and consumption occur in actual facts; an instrumental function that is inalienable for both the fundamental economic activities. The two Authors' assumption that Money should be considered a consumers' good only when not used as such, when not used as money then, cannot be shared. From the perspective of the acting human, money used in order to buy consumers' goods is quite simply used. |
