From Feudal Economy to Capitalism

This article is more than just a post on the Golos economy, it also applies to most emerging economies, such as Ukrainian or Russian.

It so happened that in our countries «capitalism» was built according to Soviet textbooks on capitalism))) While in the west, perhaps at the dawn of capitalism something similar happened, but because of the internal barriers to development it has long been transformed into so-called developed capitalism.

Let's take a look at this story from the side of the bird's flight. There is a top that has already become an oligarch in some way a criminal way, although of course the Ukrainian 90th is stealing everything that badly lies, and the Russian 90th is a burial in the forest of everybody who do not share.
It already happened (the era of the initial accumulation of capital in Europe included the same components - piracy, robbery, war and bribes of officials).

And there are 99% of absolutely poor people who from time to time are starving (I am now talking about Europe after the bourgeois revolution - in our time even these transitions are much easier, since hunger in our latitudes can only be created artificially (and we know who did it)).

The Golos platform is a very illustrative mini-model of this dawn of capitalism. And although it is believed that the economy is a so-so science, I can still suggest ways to solve this problem.

What is the problem of this feudal system - and that after taking all that you could take from society to your wallet, even to wash yourself you need two pairs of servants that should put a bath in the room and heat the water on oven and bring it with buckets. And you alone for a couple of thousand people have the opportunity to wash every day. And every time when your servants approach you, bring the perfumed handkerchief to your nose. The option to enjoy its exclusivity also worked for quite some time. But strangely enough, the system, in which every person has the opportunity to take a shower five times a day, still won.
The system won, in which everyone became rich :) Although, of course, there are also super-rich. But we must understand that in a hundred years all will live like the current super-rich.

One can also cite the upbringing of children as a couple of hundred years ago reading, writing, drawing, dancing, fencing, knowing foreign languages were ​​taught only to the noble children. Now this is the norm of secondary education ...

I repeat the question - what was the problem of the feudal system? The absence of the consumer. Luxury products for the nobles and consumer goods were produced - bowls or rough fabrics for everyone else. Do twice as much lace and noone needs it, because you will not have more than five customers for these laces. The myth of poor artists in our days has already become a myth, because only a limited number of people were interested in buying a painting. Creative souls wanted to create, but there was no demand for their goods at all. Now the paintings are expensive, and artists, as a rule, earn much above the average - a huge number of artists, and not those who were fortunate enough to work in palaces.

But what must be done to come from this unworthy yesterday in our worthy tomorrow? It is necessary to create a middle class that will be a consumer, and for the redistribution of benefits in favor of the middle class there are two ways (and this is not any socialism).

The first way is inflation

It is necessary to devalue what the rich have already accumulated, if they do not use it and redistribute in favor of producers, which raise the prices for the manufactured goods together with inflation.
I know that it will be an objection that they say that savings melt equally among the rich and the poor. This is true and untrue. Because, firstly, savings pass into a foreign "strong" currency and we can clearly see how briskly Golos is changed for bitcoin or fiat, for there is not even a hint of a transformation from feudalism to capitalism.
Because, secondly, already in a state of economic transformation, the savings of the poor are renewed more quickly (again, the bank deposit guaranteed by the state keeps them 100%, but for the oligarchs it is very risky to put all the stolen money into banks).
But nevertheless, inflation (which on Golos platform is a daily pool) is a boon for such an economy. It should be - but for the development of the system, the pool must be distributed among the talented newcomers. Sharks, whales should switch to saving their savings - earning by curating - and, ideally, refusing payments on posts, but it is possible and simply a sharp drop in payments for posts, which can be achieved by linearity (already done at Steem that resulted in stable currency).

While the distribution of the pool remains on the same accounts, the Golos currency will flow to bitcoin - that's the kind of economic law.

The second way is sharing of income with employees or project investment

This is the way in which money is allocated to the middle class now in developed capitalist economies that have already been able to abandon such an instrument as inflation. It is delegation of the voice power for new projects or old ideas that are still in demand. That is building additional "enterprises".

And this is the donation by whales of their upvotes on posts (not for 100% upvote but spreading among talents) or the creation of competitions/challenges that would serve to develop the system (but one must understand that in general the decentralized economy is disgusted with the orders or hiring).

Some hints of positive changes appear on the Golos platform, but the squareness of payments reduces all these attempts to naught. Because "poor" remains "poor", and the pool is again collected in limited hands.
