Ekonomics

i had posted an interesting komment on poor Sam's blog.... yes.. i enjoy eating his webspace as much as i like eating his oreos... he had commited the folly of posting a complaint comparing two Java IDE thingys (god knows wht they are.. hopefully he will tell us in the komments section here) apparently made by different people... so i decided to dedicate today's rant to economics

here goes:

Hellspawn~ The Ωmen said...
Maybe in a Kommunist regime we would have only one java IDE .. which would be constantly improved upon... so we wouldnt have anything to rant agiainst.. but because of lack of economic incentive, the developments would be slow and efficiency would fall. thus the cost of produktion would rise until it reached a point where upon performing a CBA, people would find it more effective to stop production. there are long queues waitin for a copy of the product where most of the people dont know what they are queuing for...and the black market is more than happy to kontribute a helping hand to raise supply...but this would result in lost jobs, so the govt. will take out a five year plan and tell the producers to meet a quota "or else"......

but in Kapitalism, we shall have 30000000000 firms making the same thing and each putting a different scheme on what is basically the same product while they slowly release updates to korrupted versions and ah.. the beauty of inkompatibility makes a grand appearance here because your java applet doesnt like your radio system and so you have to get the "NEW AND IMPROVED" java IDE.. and did i say 'get'? oh pardon me! BUY the new java IDE. but then the next firm which produces baby diapers decides its time to merge with another firm and now your firm produces java IDEs which only work in baby diapers so your whole system is out of date and all this while the government mercilessly taxes you "or else"......

ah

economics for dummies 101.

PS... 1) CBA = Cost Benefit Analysis
2) and i have NO idea what a Java IDE is =P...

but i like to try and apply my knowledge =D
hav fun w/ those java-thingys Sam!

**************

i also realised that spelling 'queues' is one of the most captivatingly difficult things i have ever done! well... thats wat happens when you dont have to study English in university for too long =)
