From: "Julio Huato"
The total amount of money in the world is not essentially infinite. ^^^^ CB: Ok . I thought not. And one of the rulers' most important rules is that there must be an enormous mass of poor people, because if everybody had "enough" money the rulers wouldn't be able to break strikes with scabs desperate for money ^^^^^ ^^^^^ It is finite, even if you define money as M_n, where n is a very large number; in other words, even if you take all existing commodities to be immediate money. For money to be essentially infinite, the (commodified) wealth in the global economy would have to be essentially infinite, which would entail that the productivity of labor is essentially infinite as well. We may wish to be gods, but we're just humans.
