| Abstract: | Stripped of its modern finery economics was initially about how surpluses were exchanged and was also about relationships. As money became the medium for transaction the producer and consumer became separated and the exchange gradually became that of scarce man-made goods. The distortion was made concrete with the flowering of science, for it was easier to develop a quantitative economic science based on scarcity rather than abundance. Scarce currency systems prevailed over sufficient currency systems. There is a third party to the economic transactions, the earth, the Great Mother, which in Jungian psychology is an archetype. |
