¶ Scarcity
RBF Definitions
We have millions of people who no longer have anything to do on farms. We keep plowing it under. We run only eight hours on the machinery instead of 24, when it could perfectly well run 24 hours. We are doing everything we can to keep scarcity because the only thing we are familiar with is scarcity. I simply say to you that we’re in an absolutely inadequate accounting system, which did relate to yesterday’s agricultural perishability. The agricultural did automatically depreciate. We are now in an entirely new economy where the wealth consists of energy, the metaphysical and the physical. . . . They are not on the books of any of the corporations anywhere.”
