GEORG HEGEL (1770 -1831) "Recipes of the Dialectic" ... to Marx?

We will locate Hegel . was coeval of Malthus (1766-1834) and Ricardo (1772-1823) and a 50 years younger than Adam Smith and Immanuel Kant , whose works did know ... and the French Revolution in his student days ... not met Marx (1818-1883)
Hegel was a very deep thinker . His writings were read complicated as medical recipes, very few can decipher (other than pharmacists endowed with the gift of clairvoyance). published very little in life, and the essentials of his work was edited by his students after his death.
"One only understands me, yet I have not understood." The Dialectic , result of tensions and contradictions, at once makes the denial of knowledge play a role. is what Hegel called "prodigious power of the negative."
An example that Hegel himself gives is that of life cycle of a fruit tree . The instant of time or "thesis" would be the seed, which is neither tree nor fruit. Falls to the ground, germinates, grows and becomes a tree, it's time to "denial" of their state seed. In time, the tree produces fruit that are neither seed nor tree, but a negation "double" of the seed and the tree is the moment of "synthesis." And again, the "circle" dialectic begins with another "theory" or seed, etc. .
Considered by the classic story of philosophy as the representative of the summit of the movement German philosophical idealism and as a revolutionary Dialectic would have a profound impact on historical materialism of Karl Marx.
Smith studied Hegel and political economy . Against Smith, who distrusted the state, Hegel was not optimistic about the current unregulated economy. Not only because it generated alienation and turned individuals into cogs in a machine anonymous but because they are self-regulating and led to extremes of wealth and poverty. counterweight to the bourgeoisie , individuals in civil society, was the kind selfless public servants which was a universal class because their interests coincide with those of the community as a whole. For Hegel had to be a part of the community where people feel free. Man is not an individual but a social being.
Marx initially belonged to a group of "Young Hegelians" who adopted the ideas of the master: idealism (the story is the gradual evolution of reason) and the Dialectic (evolution achieved through Conflict between opposing forces), but changed the outlook of Hegel ...

How Long Should Cream Stay On Face

Circular Flow Model of Income.

The circular flow of income is a model that helps explain a very simplified manner the basic operation economic activity . This model helps us understand between who is an exchange, ie those involved in the economy and what these exchanges.
The simplest model of circular flow of income represents an economy with only two actors: the households and businesses . There are other agents, the State and Foreign sector, which, through taxes and transfers made by the first to households and businesses and exports and imports made by the second influence in the circular flow of income.
The issue is to analyze how income moves in an economy . Then try to summarize a curious explanation given an American economist at one of his lectures on this topic. There was a businessman in the city is presented in a remote village in a state of interior. This "bombshell" has been moved to different forms in all languages \u200b\u200b... but allows to assimilate the concept of "circular flow of income" in an unforgettable way.
condensed version of "English" (multiple versions): This speaks of the external sector (imported something) and public sector (paid something the council) ... always with a wry sense of humor:
American comes a perfect dress, suit and tie, a village in Castile and asked a neighbor, in a perfect Castilian, where there is a hotel. He replied that the people no hotel, but in the Plaza Mayor is a very good pension.
our "tourist" park their big car (American) in the Plaza and into the board. Presented and asked the innkeeper if you have a "suite" says no, but on the fourth floor is a large room with bathroom. Mister Smith says it comes with idea to settle in the town to mount an electronic components factory, he left his passport and tickets 20 100 Euros (big!) After asking if it would be enough to settle about three months (he had led to price 25 Euros / night), but first up to see the room and cool.
Antonio, the host, with tickets in hand is the opportunity to settle their accounts with the grocer, the butcher, the fishmonger, the baker, the carrier, the mechanic and even the rent should the council about the room that let you use for a meeting of travelers who came to paint the board.
The money was mechanical dampers to transport imported, which in turn was in the bakery and grocery. The council had outstanding bills with butcher. The baker paid the fishmonger, who, in turn, made peace with the mechanic ....
After an hour and twenty minutes between a good looking girl on the board and leaves on the counter to 20 100 Euro bills owed to the landlord for the use "regular" room in these past few months ... because almost everyone trusted the people!
American Finally cooling down after he tells the innkeeper that most prefer to buy a house, leaves a 50 note and retrieves the 20 notes of 100 and his passport.
When an economy is in crisis is because it will deflate both consumption because there is no revenue because businesses (shops etc.) do not sell (and lay off workers), as their production due to lack of confidence . It is at this point that accelerator is needed to allow the re-launch complicated machinery, its gears in motion ...

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) ... 80 years thinking?

Kant lived in the time of Adam Smith, Malthus and David Ricardo , but did not know any of them. His long life (80 years in the eighteenth century), barely moving from his "people" made him think a lot.
Life "boring" that has been passed into history as a paradigm of methodical and routine existence . Always lived in the present Kaliningrad (now Russia, before Prussia). is known for his habit of taking an evening stroll, a day at the same time and with identical course, to the point that it became a sort of time signal to their fellow citizens is that the only exception was the day that the reading of Emile, Rousseau, he absorbed enough to make him forget his walk, a fact that raised the alarm of his acquaintances.
Among his most notable is the Review of Pure Reason , usually qualified as a turning point in the history of philosophy and the beginning of modern philosophy. It investigates the structure of reason.
Kant wrote very little about economics, except when speaking of the Public Debt as a positive source of funding and promotion of the domestic economy (improved roads, new settlements, savings for the bad years, etc.). but as risk from foreign powers. It is a "treasure" against the war that only exhausted by the fall in prices (which will remain a long time for its beneficial effect on trade ...). Thus, Kant was already seeing the benefits of a devaluation of the currency for trade between the powers. China and Japan are the largest holders of U.S. Debt ... and we see the risk to which Kant alluded after the catastrophe of 11-M. The massive sales of debt in markets were negatively impacted by exchange rates ...
Kant's thought was influential in the Germany of his time, and Hegel knew how to interpret the analytical thinking, using in some of his works ... the German idealism , modern bourgeois society of his time ...
When Marx entered the University to study law, was captivated by the lively debate on Hegelian philosophy in Berlin in 1830 and for whom Hegelian orthodoxy wanted to turn into a radical social doctrine .... Marx but speak in another article.
