[1558] Thugtorious: Crisis. A crisis, or the potential for a crisis, is a situation where two things are
separate that should be unified. The actual crisis itself is when these two
things are reunified. The potential for a crisis in commodity circulation
comes about when the exchange process is subdivided into two acts: the sale
and the purchase. As Marx says, this division allows the process to
transcend space and time barriers. A person that sells a good does not
need to immediately purchase another good. Within M-C-M' circulation a
person can choose to hoard their money instead of injecting directly back
into circulation. Since these two aspects should be unified in exchange,
and they have been divorced in commodity circulation, the potential for a
crisis exists. However, for the crisis to be realized, there must be a
larger sequence of events to bring about the reunification. |
