What is the purpose of the economy?
It's funny, people can look at a word their entire life and not grasp the meaning.
What is an economy? It is the production, distribution, trade, and consumption of goods and services. Now where there realization for some occurs is in associating "economy" and "economical." The act of producing goods can happen in haphazard ways, but making the act "economical" - that is efficient use of resources, is what economics and business is about.
Humans have used their intellect to grasp that the most economical way to produce goods is through trade. For trade to occur, one party must offer something the second party VALUES in exchange for what the first party desires. Adam Smith termed this "the value proposition," which is to say the trade of value for value.
You Communists fail to comprehend this most basic law, and think that you can trade "need" for "value." You think that your need should have the same merit as the value that another creates. Where others must PRODUCE in order to create value, you merely have to want to create your need. Then seek to trade your wants for my production.
