Teoria optimului economic


Gheorghe Piperea
Teoria optimului economic inseamna cerinta de a lasa ca toata lumea sa castige din jocul, achizitiile si strategiile care se fac; e un joc de suma non-nula. Castigul partajat este mai mic per capita, dar mai echilibrat si, deci, mai de durata; daca unii castiga prea mult, altii pierd mult sau chiar se ruineaza fata vina. Iar un debitor ruinat este un debitor insolvabil, deci un debitor lipsa.
Jocul de suma nula este, in schimb acele in care ceea ce castiga unul, pierde celalalt. Ca la poker. Treptat, unii, foarte putini, care au toti asii in maneca, ajung sa aiba totul, banii, resursele, puterea de a-i controla sau chiar pe aceea de a-i inrobi pe toti ceilalti. De aici rezulta un dezechilibru bun doar pentru constructia piramidei sociale a puterii si bogatiei materiale (care doar foarte rar e dublata de bogatia spirituala sau sufleteasca). Piramida fiind constructia sau figura geometrica cea mai durabila, cea mai rezistenta, s-ar parea ca jocul de suma nula si, deci, dezechilibrul economic, sunt eterne. Dar acest dezechilibru nu e ca in termodinamica, nu e o tendinta naturala eterna catre haos (entropia), e temporar, e ultragiant pentru fiinta morala si emotionala a omului, care tinde catre dreptate si libertate. Rezultatul opozitiei fata de tendinta catre dezechilibrul economic, nefericit, dar natural, logic, este anarhia. Resetarea de dupa explozia anarhiei poate fi o pace calma sau un razboi rece, dar si o societate distopica mai rea decat cea din Jocurile foamei sau din 1984. Sa fim atenti, deci, la semintele de azi, din timpul sfarsitului alchimie, pe care le plantam cu sau fara voie, caci ele vor fi granele de maine.

This individualism is particularly strong among the educated and the young, just as it was among the Bohemians of Victorian England. And it is no surprise that anarchism should have become important again on the left in recent years – from the “anti-globalisers” of the late 1990s, to the 2011 Occupy movement. Indeed Occupy’s principal theorist, David Graeber, is a Kropotkin enthusiast.

Anarchism’s challenges remain much the same as they were in Kropotkin’s day. How can a group so suspicious of established institutions build an effective movement for the long term? How can it win over a majority addicted to endless growth and ever higher living standards? And how can its ideal social order, founded on local participatory democracy, control the enormous concentrations of power in states and international markets?

Yet much has changed to anarchism’s advantage. A more educated society is becoming ever less deferential and possibly less materialistic. Meanwhile, the failures of both state socialism in 1989 and global capitalism in 2008, and their glaring inability to deal with environmental degradation, demand that we question the way we live as never before. Kropotkin is no messiah, but his writings force us to imagine a politics that might just help save the world.

State socialism has failed, so has the market. We need to rediscover the anarchist thinker Peter Kropotkin
