By Warren A. Lyon, Economist. 23/12/2024. The Problem with American Capitalism. Click here. The problem is that American Capitalism attempted to focus on efficiency with production but without commitment to a full reduction in human labor. It was American job automation nonetheless but not with the full job cancelling commitment to automation as seen in the German or Asian automotive manufacturing techniques. This led to automation set on supplying a mass market but after automation, the market struggled. The North American market struggled to give human beings a value in capitalism AS THE "actual Market" for whom all the goods are produced. The people are "the market" and they must have money to buy the goods. That money provided to citizens is a small fraction of the money invested into mechanized, automated forms of production with no human employees or the fewest possible number of employees. But it represents a purposeful balancing of the energy on both sides of the economy; the production side of the economy with the supply side of the economy. These are forces that represent human energy that we can turn into mechanized energy and these forces have a monetary value or figure. Bread is an example. The demand for bread costs X. The supply of bread; and all that it costs to produce bread costs Y. The bread factory laborer is also the consumer of bread; a constituent member of the bread buying population that we also call the bread buying market. If we automate bread manufacturing, then the laborer cannot afford to buy it. The market for bread is a bit slow. He also cannot afford to buy sardines or a vehicle. But, we have automated the jobs once filled by humans at the sardine factory and the car factory. We agree that society on a whole is saving money with the use of this automation or mechanized labor. We see the government saves money with fewer people working since there are fewer workers compensation board claims. There is less road traffic, less packed transit and less accidents; less pollution and less work related injuries that cost us on the public funded health insurance. We see in chemistry that energy is not lost but transferred in all chemical reactions; in that transformation. We have added to the supply side of the economy the efficient use of electricity in the form of automation. We have to ensure what is added as a monetary factor on the supply side is now computed as a monetary factor or sum and added to the demand side or there is less economic activity. The money saved in wages with what is spent in automation is what we consider. We are not replacing wages with automation. But, we are providing money purposefully in the pockets of these former workers so they can at least by the bread, the food and the vehicles as well as pay their rents or mortgages; just something small for their pocket. The machines in the factory watch us and we watch the machines if we do not provide this small sum or else there are insufficient orders or sales of goods. $1.15 per hour works out to $10,000.00 per year. We see the figure is as simple as $11.42 per hour 24 hours per day and 365 days per year. That works out to $100,000.00 per year.
The Cadillac Lyric, the Corvette and the Chevy Blazer are old American legacy GM brand names but today they are produced with Japanese Automation; for a more reliable, dependable and competitive product in America and priced in line with the Japanese vehicle offerings; sometimes cheaper than the Japanese products. What does this mean when the gap in the American car market created by unreliable American vehicles( once filled by the more reliable Japanese vehicle) is now taken up with a reliable American vehicle built by Japanese technology? What does this mean with respect to that gap and a market share that is recovered by the American product, some what, although its manufacturer is really Japanese? The other question is how much do you spend to make money in a dead horse economy that is predicted with low income support funding? But you could have enough sway to encourage North American governments to ensure they increase the income support funding and make it comparably equal across the various states and provinces. This is a question for some Japanese and Korean automakers who will have to think about their market share in America while America always remains profitable for them; or is it just to have a reasonable online purchasing Carvana/Car Guru presence in the market with fewer dealerships? The Honda CRV is a very popular hybrid vehicle at the moment. The Nissan Rogue is also tremendously popular.
