SAE Political Economy · Paper 1: Accumulation / SAE 政治经济学 第一篇: 积累

How do the things people accumulate in the Emergence Layer, capital, fame, status, qualifications, become power acting on others? This paper answers only the first half of that question: how accumulation forms, and where it shows a power-face. A few events in the Kingdom State run through the whole paper: how four stalls in Apple City's East Market grew into Crossways Group, which forty thousand sellers must all pass through; on Crossways' share register, one holder with twenty percent of the share capital holds about fifty-six percent of the voting power, and the pension fund that holds nine percent has members with no road by which to have a say in how those shares are voted; in Bluekiln, a veteran kiln worker's standing in the trade, a state-issued grade certificate, a young man's nine hundred thousand followers, and a "Gold Seller" badge that can be obtained by payment; a review platform's scores written into lending conditions; a settlement subsidiary's three-day delay, after which two workshops could not pay wages that month. Accumulation is a matter of the Emergence Layer; accumulation itself is not the problem; how it is used is. Power does not lie in capital but in the decision position that can mobilize accumulation; nominal holding and actual mobilization come apart. One and the same position can be read two ways: read from the position-holder's side it is a right, and it shows a power-face when it actually converges others; what shows a power-face is exercise, not holding as such. Accumulation is of many kinds, and reputation is not among them: reputation is taken in the sense of Moral Law P3, is not capital, and is not exchanged for money; what enters this series is fame, status, qualifications, attention and influence. When reputation, or a score taken as standing for it, is used by a position as a condition of a chokepoint decision, it shows a power-face in that decision. An account adopted by all parties, and the operating authority to hold settlement in trust and to decide when payments are released, are two different things. Along the way the paper takes up Marx, Smith, and Berle and Means: it agrees with Marx that capital is not a thing but a relation between persons, and parts with him on the ground of that relation; Smith wrote long ago that the directors of joint-stock companies manage other people's money, and he is used only to support one step, that nominal ownership and actual management can come apart; the comparison with Berle and Means rests only on a secondary paraphrase, so it lists what can be compared and draws no conclusion on where they agree or part. The paper has six propositions (E1 to E6), each stated at the end of its section and listed together at the end. 人在涌现层积累起来的东西,资本、名声、地位、资质,怎样成了作用于别人的权力?这一篇只答这一问的前一半:积累怎样形成,它在哪里显出权力面。全篇以王国州的几件事贯穿:苹果城东市的四个摊位怎样长成四万家卖家都要经过的通衢集团;通衢的股东名册上,持有二成股本的一家握着约五成六的投票权,持有九分的养老基金,它的成员对怎样投票没有发言的路;青窑镇一位老窑工的行内口碑、州发的等级证、一位年轻人的九十万关注者与一枚可以付费取得的"金牌卖家"标识;一家点评平台的评分被写进放贷条件;一家结算子公司延迟三日,两家作坊当月发不出工资。积累是涌现层的事,积累本身不是问题,怎样使用才是问题。权力不在资本里,在能调动积累的决策位置上;名义上的持有与实际的调动分开。同一个位置可以两读:从持位者一侧读是权利,在实际收敛别人时显出权力面;显出权力面的是行使,不是持有本身。积累有多种,声誉不在其列:声誉取道德律第三篇的意思,不是资本,不与钱交换;进入本系列的是名声、地位、资质、注意力与影响力。声誉,或被当作它的评分,被一个位置拿去作关口决定的条件时,在那个决定里显出权力面。一份被各方采用的账,与受托结算、决定款项何时释放的运行权限,是两件事。随文与马克思、斯密、伯利与米恩斯对照:与马克思同在资本不是物、是人与人之间的关系,分在关系的根据;斯密早已写到股份公司的董事管的是别人的钱,只用来支持名义所有与实际管理可以分开一步;与伯利、米恩斯的对照只据二手转述,列出可对照之处,不作同在、分在的结论。全篇六条(E1 至 E6),各节末写出,篇末合列。 Related works Relation Identifier Scheme Resource type Title References 10.5281/zenodo.23269635 DOI Publication / Preprint To Whom the Ought Is Addressed (SAE Institution Theory, Paper 1) References 10.5281/zenodo.20368866 DOI Publication / Preprint What Power Is Not · Shi (SAE Power Theory, Prequel) References 10.5281/zenodo.20370224 DOI Publication / Preprint On the Origin of Power · Shi (SAE Power Theory, Paper 1) References 10.5281/zenodo.20455221 DOI Publication / Preprint On the Morphology of Power · Shi (SAE Power Theory, Paper 2) References 10.5281/zenodo.21093939 DOI Publication / Preprint The Interface and Transformation between Recognition-Based Rights and Power (SAE Rights Theory, Paper 4) References 10.5281/zenodo.22853810 DOI Publication / Preprint On Accountability · Wei (SAE Rights Theory, Specialist Paper) References 10.5281/zenodo.20046168 DOI Publication / Preprint The Reputation Economy · Dao (SAE Moral Law, Paper 3) References 10.5281/zenodo.19384446 DOI Publication / Preprint Dimensional Sequence Economics in Mixed Markets: Remote Observation, Clustering, and Emergence (SAE Economics, Paper 3) References 10.5281/zenodo.19391325 DOI Publication / Preprint Institutional Design in Adaptive Monetary Systems: A Dimensional Sequence Analysis of Breathing Money (SAE Economics, Applied Paper 2)
