7 Foreword As value is at the centre of human intelligence and existence, it is unreasonable to confine it only to the science of economics, because it has meanings and ramifications as well in other sciences like philosophy, history, sociology, psychology and politics. Every one of these gives rise to its own explanations and sense, providing evidence about the universality of value. Despite intuitively feeling its vital function, we clearly have difficulty in explaining what value really means. This is not because of some coincidence or ignorance, but of the unforeseen pre-set nature of value in the human mind. Value appears to be a sort of ethereal substance predisposed to inducing humans to action, but predestined to decay in the fulfilling of the action. Value has in itself a cipher hosting these two powers, one self-constructive and the other self-destructive, in a continuous relation from which energy feeding human action emanates. On the one side, value attracts us to action, on the other; action is already an expression of its consumed substance. Both forces of value are mounted in bootstrap for the realisation of actions during the lifetime of every individual; in the absence of one, value would not exist and, in consequence, any human action would be impossible. If value is set in the mind, it does not mean much that its substance there is limitless, accessible right away. Value is internally attached to something that is external to the mind system, definable as a tangible/ intangible event. The essence of value is human expectation in disclosure of information, attached to events by desire. Expectation exists if and only if desired events hold unknown the information about the probable outcome, which might be good or bad, arising from the consumption of value. The more uncertain the outcome is, the greater is the attractive power, and consequently, the magnitude of value in desired events. In contrast, i.e., when the outcome is certain, there is no expectation, but only information.
8 Information is in fact the consumed form of value. This assumption is important because it suggests that information is harmful; in reality it destroys the expectation and, consequently, the value. This is in quasi-contradiction with the enthusiastic welcome and extensive rise of information in society. I even believe that what is launched as big data (and big opportunities) may turn out to be a big problem for the human race. The manner of harm I signalise is not related to the futuristic thoughts on technological/information singularity despite their realistic scenarios described for the future. The idea is quite subtle and connected to the permanently shrinking human state of expectation due to soon-to-be achievable higher levels of certainty or the scarcity of novelty in the information of desired events, notably with big data, the technological evolution and acceleration of progress. Yet, in the bio-paradoxical property of value, the expectation permanently melts down into information. That progressively and cumulatively affects individuals, contributing to building on average a state of social epilepsy. Without expectation and value, would our civilisation be at risk, up to the point of collapse? I intentionally do not respond to that question, but the description of value in this work intuitively provides some assenting elements of thought. Value is classically seen from two main perspectives. From a collective, psychological or moral perspective, chiefly a diffuse and idealistic quality is seen in value. The other perspective is obviously economic utility. Over the years there has been a clear interest in trying to understand and define the properties of value, notably by classical authors; however this does not seem to be the case with most of the contemporary economists, who are preoccupied with the practical issues of the real world and, because of that, have almost eliminated the value on which, ironically, economics rests. I do not know precisely why, with whom or when such a planned (or maybe unplanned) agenda started, but it has been possible to notice an intense use of price instead of value since the beginning of the 20th century. In the latter years, especially with the monetisation of a globally organised economy, value is just discussed symbolically in a few paragraphs at the beginning of some economics handbooks. II DESTRUCTIVE CREATION
9 Mainstream economics suffers today from a deficiency in conceptual and practical foundations, mainly because of that omission of value. Elsewhere, there is obviously permanent confusion about the meanings and the distinctions between the concepts of value, price, cost and income. Those who are interested in the subject will easily notice various definitions of and attempts to clarify these concepts from both practical and academic perspectives, without any coherent structure. One may also find an arbitrary use of one notion for another, even in the same phrase, and the general construct would degenerate if the definitions in different fields were to be compared. It gets even more puzzling when we realise that inadequate definitions were used for the application of various methods to explain/estimate the value of different types of capital. Along with any attempts to describe value, there should also be some clarification of the other important concepts of price, cost and income. With that objective in mind, at the beginning, I tried to sketch out some explanations, but this effort soon made me realise sometimes that I was reinventing what had already been done countless times. I was often disappointed by the challenging ambiguities in the main concepts and I could not face revisiting the related heavy works, going back to Aristotle (and even earlier). However, the tortuous questions that came in cycles, my focus on the issue and my regular thoughts on value analysis gave me sufficient energy and determination to delve into the mountainous substance of those works. It ended up here with an anatomy of value and its critical consumption mechanisms, which, I believe, reflect the general idea within the title Destructive creation. It is clear that value is connected to many scientific fields that offer appreciable basics and explanations. In economics alone, acknowledging what has been said about value historically and in main languages is a complex task. In addition to the difficulty in presenting an appropriate synthesis of value, there is a risk of causing confusion (and being confused) as the existing explanations are multiple and often contradictory. I could have decided to impartially regroup and synthesise that existing content of value, but this would have required several volumes. Getting in and around the conceptions of, for example, Foreword III
10 classical authors and trying to decode what has already been decoded, many times before (and sometimes wrongly), could be impressive, but it would risk simply further confusing our understanding of value. I then thought it would be good to focus directly on value starting with a different perception, sometimes with unusual pieces, leading occasionally to imprecisions to the point of even changing the direction of the project. However, right or wrong in comparison to the existing conceptions, a few rare moments of key discernments indicated that I was on the right track leading to the domain of value. This work is actually different and subsequently has several contradictions/ consequences not only to our standard understanding of value, but also to the main foundations of leading socio-economic systems resting on value. This is not so bad considering that the attempts to clarify value usually tend towards different directions/interpretations, which do not make a consensus anyway on the common basis of demystifying value. It would probably have been safer and less painful to work with the interpretations of existing material than directly inquiring about the sui generis of value. It is only with progress and the achievement of the manuscript that I have realised that I went for the most austere choice, because elaborating something different from the existing basis on value has consequences in challenging/modifying in succession other subtle concepts, at the same time imposing strict clarifications. I went positively through this intense work on value, comparing and evaluating the main concepts to which it was related. I introduce here a presentable version of the manuscript, but should admit there might be some rough pieces that basically could have been elegantly shaped with more work.
