Lógica de satisfacción de necesidades y lógica maximizadora: la existencia de mercados 11 agosto, 2022
Foto: @thefromthetreeLa psicología humana incluye la idea de propiedad privada individual pero no de los medios de producción y singularmente, las tierras. Sobre la caza, la pesca o las frutas silvestres que existan en unos montes o bosques o en las riberas donde acampa una banda o tribu, toda ésta ostenta su propiedad. No hay asignación de cuotas. Todos lo […]
