호른보리가 게오르게스쿠-뢰겐을 가져와 지적하면서 화폐개혁 대안으로 나아간 부분 요약.

***

"Instead of fetishizing a monolithic “system” called capitalism,  requiring  thousands of volumes of theoretical analysis and debate to comprehend, let us talk about the fairly simple but inexorable logic of money. Marx identified  this logic as M-C-M1.  

If we combine the insights of Marx and Georgescu-Roegen, we realize that the production of commodity C has implied an  increase in entropy, corresponding to the increase in monetary value signified by M1. The logic of money is such that any component of the production process that can be given a monetary price, including labor, will be commoditized for appropriation on the world market. This is what has happened  historically, and we know the consequences for human society and the planet.

The only feasible and sustainable way to domesticate this development is by  redesigning money in the direction sketched in this chapter. Whether this would justify talking about a shift toward a postcapitalist “mode of produc tion” is less relevant than its many social and ecological  benefits.
