  The Law of Value and the Global Financial Crisis

  The modern world is in the vortex of an unprecedented as yet crisis. Nobody is capable of predicting neither the scope of the Slump nor its depth. Not to mention its duration.

The modern world is in the vortex of an unprecedented as yet crisis. Nobody is capable of predicting neither the scope of the Slump nor its depth. Not to mention its duration. Most publications related to the global financial crisis concern only the external symptoms of the Slump without looking into its deep reasons and driving forces. Given that, the risk of repeating the crisis in the foreseeable future is not only probable, but almost certain. This paper aims at focusing the attention of the leading economists, politicians and administrators to the forgotten laws and regularities of market economy, underlying and steering the driving forces of the global financial crisis.

The doctrine of singularism maintains that choice is inevitably and necessarily between two and only two things: that which is chosen, and the next best alternative, which is set aside. However, implicit in the concept the scale of values is the claim that choice can take place over many, many alternatives. If one of these has to be jettisoned, and we argue that one must be, then we vote for the latter.
