INDIVIDUALISM AND THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION<br />

question is. how shall wc use the available scarce fac<strong>to</strong>rs of production?<br />

Nianc assumed that what has <strong>to</strong> be done is obvious. He didn't realize that<br />

the future is always uncertain, that it is the job of every businessman <strong>to</strong><br />

provide for the unknown future. In the capitalist system, the workers and<br />

technologists obey the entrepreneur. Under socialism, they will obey the<br />

socialist official. Marx didn't take in<strong>to</strong> consideration the fact that there<br />

IS a difference between saying what has <strong>to</strong> be done and doing what<br />

somebody else has said must be done. The socialist state is necessarily a<br />

police sute.<br />

The withering away of the state was just Marx's attempt <strong>to</strong> avoid<br />

answering the question about what would happen under socialism.<br />

Under socialism, chc convicts will know that they are being punished for<br />

the benefit of the whole society.<br />

The third volume of Das Kapital was filled with lengthy quotations<br />

<strong>from</strong> the hearings of Uritish Parliamentary Committees on money<br />

and banking, and they don't make any sense at all.^ For instance,<br />

"The monetary system is essentially Catholic, the credit system<br />

essentially l'n>lesiani. . . . Hut<br />

the credit system does not emancipate<br />

Itself <strong>from</strong> the basis of the monetary system any more than<br />

Protestantism emancipates itself <strong>from</strong> the foundations of Cathohcism."^<br />

Utterly nonsensical!<br />
