Social firms v social markets
Yes corporations are already social firms but of course the infamous corporate liberation movement from its inchoate
inception
In 1969
to the startling last moments
Of 2008
Which cleverly
Reversed much of
What earlier
Efforts acvomished toward mobilizing
corporate activity
In the long and lingering aftermath of
The crisis of September 2008
Restarting the harnessing of corporate firms to the general good of society
Has staggered to its still unsteady feet

Weather and social production
In the 50's
We were going to tune up the weather
That was abandoned
For simply improved forecasting
That is exactly not what we should do about social production
The point is to improve it not predict it
Physical atmospheres s and social production systems share complexity
but not agency
The existence of Agency
is both the hope
And the problematic
of social production
We need detailed now casted
data and an adequate set of macro instruments
Ready to smooth and steeped
Our macro climb to society wide
Freedom from material labor necessity
The strategic markets sector : markets that contain firms with pricing power and thus strategic options
Oligops play pricing games with each other in the in markets for their products
Galbraith focused on this sector
And Lerner mark up cap and trade
Use it or lose it and rent flush
CO ordination markets are relevant
To this sector
Clearly reliably sustainable
peoples state control of the fire sector is a crucial features as else where

Price spirals are the deeper target of social management of autonomous market guided firm production
The inflation rate governed by stop start macro policy cycles of relative injection
and extraction rates
Or net credit flows and their interest rates q
Private Profiteering is no virtue .....and what else is mankiw trying to protectb
If mankiw urges
Free range corporate pricing and wage setting as the best practical long run state policy
Why
Surely he recognizes the next stop on the road to socialism isn't inevitably Weimar
Or the Soviet union
Why is he shielding oligop outfits
What is the social miracle contained in firm level exploitation of primary producers
Imagine a system with just one class
Employees
No capitalist rentiers
Like no landlords
Yes we'd still face the question of optimal compensation patterns for the various employed
Yes nothing prevents a system like ours now where the executive suite gangs
Haul out huge hunks of
firm level
infra marginal value added
But
Once the state is dedicated
To socializing a socially optimum share of surplus value
nothing suggests
compensation
Structure
can't be
Employee Congress determined
Mankiw is anti socialist pro corporate capitalist so.....
The peoples state despite Mankiws dogma
Can improve macro performance
Yes at the expense of corporate
Market liberties
Consider these liberties
They are a social expedient
Justified by outcomes
Demonstrate socially superior
Outcomes with a social market design
And that suffices to justify the reformation of oligop corporate sector markets and firms
Mankiw ripped
"the government can always print
money to pay its bills.
But that fact does not free the government from its intertemporal budget
constraint."
What intertemporal constraint ?
The global system of social production remains finite
And has limits at all times and places
This is a tautology
Where has anyone claimed magical powers
of limitless extension at the present margin s of social production
The limits are a frontier to be forced
Till bottle necks overwhelm additional output and shortages become no longer a spur to more production of a given output at a certain quality
But a chronic condition
-------------------------------
"the economy normally operates with excess capacity , the economy’s output often falls short of its optimum."
Indeed and it is the task of the peoples state to force out more production
Then spontaneously emerges....at all levels and in all sectors
" But that conclusion does not mean that
policymakers only rarely need to worry about inflationary pressures."
Here one considers demand pull inflationary
Pressures
The peoples state must arbitrate the combo of price increases and delivery delays
And the estimated time frame of rectification
-------------------------------
"in a world of
pervasive market power, government price setting might improve private price setting as a matter
of economic theory."
"But that deduction does not imply that actual governments in actual
economies can increase welfare
by inserting themselves extensively in the price-setting process."
If the firms set wages and prices
Enter Lerner CO ordination markets
To regulate over all limits
If the target is firm level rents
The system of use it or lose it enters the story
This question of dynamic and structural rents remains open for vast investigation and social remedy
Pay it forward
The rent flush is a possible solution too
Mankiw on MMT
the government can always print
money to pay its bills. But that fact does not free the government from its intertemporal budget
constraint. I agree that the economy normally operates with excess capacity, in the sense that the
economy’s output often falls short of its optimum. But that conclusion does not mean that
policymakers only rarely need to worry about inflationary pressures. I agree that, in a world of
pervasive market power, government price setting might improve private price setting as a matter
of economic theory. But that deduction does not imply that actual governments in actual
economies can increase welfare by inserting themselves extensively in the price-setting process.

Vickrey macro max
New policies new politics
Vickrey macro max
Proposes a job forcing system that drives the social production system to
the Beveridge frontier
The system phase critical edge
Where job openings and job candidates
Ossilate along a ratio range
That only practice can optimize
Hazards abound
Protracted product scarcity
Wage spirals
Trade d3ficit ballooning
Rampant undoc
In migrations
Job floor discipline collapse
Corporate spending strike
Etc
Corporate America has yet to stage a a CO ordinates spending strike
Nope
So far booms have self terminated spontaneously
Or by act of state
The final problematic of kalecki macro : corporate contrived contractions CCC
CCC study has never consolidated itself
into A steady topic of investigation
Why ?
Till now no regime has ever
Implemented
A permanent
kalecki macro guided
Aggregate Demand management system
The autostab system pro active ipayment njections patterns tied to now casted transaction data
Yes its just n targets of m injected uncle payments
To increase general purchasing power
Not actual purchases of products or services
Hence uncertain results
require dynamic piloting With efficient timely feed backs
Points of injection
The payroll stream* and
The retirement payment stream
******* payroll stream and
Present unemployment payment stream
And health mortgage and rent payment streams
Of course general
social wage stream much better
Example
Imagine the potential of a complete re injection of the payroll tax revenue rebates to employees
Imagine uncle off set
wage cuts by employers instead of lay offs
Etc
Social democracy 1.0
Was about compensation for job loss and buffering jobless Ness
Not part of social democracy 2.0

Public equity
Yes deep uncle needs to
Set up public equity outfits
To cruise the security markets
And menace corporate malefactors of great exploits
As in great exploitation
SEFs: sovereign equity funds
Really a no brainer
With a citizen
Quaterly dividend
Farmer would have deep uncle
Buy and sell equity indexes
To regulate equity market values
Like the FOMC regulated treasury bonds and notes
As capital financialization
Deepens well beyond the point
Of dominance
It has evolved qualitatively
it
Has become securitized
Autonomous financial capitals
AFCs
Are liberated from the restrictions of a loan
portfolios of yore
State regulation has fallen behind the growth curve of course
Private equity has evolved ad a new super exploitative vehicle
Able to ply security markets
Bond and equity alike
Largely liberated from regsec harnessing
Real product Corporate capitalism
Has escaped the idiocy
Of own bottom private ownership
Only to fall prey
To profiteering mauraders
Like mitt Romney

Money has many independent dimensions ; We could use a static unit of account
An accounting dollar or A dollar for all transactions payment patterns etc
A simple translator of actual exchange medium and means of payment money prices
Into the accounting money price
Just as zero real consoles
Are money as a store of exchange value
Delivery time is only socially noticed universally when its a j tme till a job hire
The economics of scarcity
Needs to focus on next job hire and next loan completion
Wait time in a transaction is heterogenious as to both del8very commodity and money payment
The wait time inhetent in the delivery time grid is often far less accounted for macroscopicly then the very carefully scrutinized payment time grid yo
Stop the insanity : no more signal processing models of price and quantity data
Yes pq data aggregates flux in time and space
But these are emergent particulate flocking behaviour
Not deterministic waves
Like neural nets produce
Nor Brownian shocks jumble

Capitalism mirror world
We have a physical world where products are fractured and circulated
And exchanged for notes
The notee are the data that
Found and inform
The mirror world
