PROSPEROLOGY IN PRACTICE



1.Earning, Consumption & Prosperity

Poor people want to be rich and rich ones to be richer. Everyone tries to earn more and more. Haves and haves-not are all time realities. Another factor such as consumption has another role in human life. Possibility or capacity of consumption of earnings gives value to richness. A rich person without a possibility or capacity of consumption is no better than a poor one without any time value. Therefore, combination of time value and consumption defines prosperity of a person. Also in this industrial world, the main source of time value of most of the people is their earning in unit time and so we can use earning in unit time as a time value of concerned person.
"Prosperity is a relative expression of possibility of access to consumables between individuals."

2. Labour, Non-labour and Production Costs

If three workers in three different strata are equally skilled, they will produce equal numbers of items in unit time and labour costs of those

3. Balance of Trade

If the workers trade their products between themselves, there will be loss and gain among themselves. The low earner has to pay more to high earner due to higher prosperity of later one. As higher is the difference of prosperity, higher will be the gain or loss to high and low earner respectively. For above prosperities and production costs

the level of prosperity of former to later one. The highest prosperity will always gain, the lowest will always loose, and in-between prosperities gain or lose on and off as they can sell and buy to whom and from whom. In a normal production and balanced trade market, the least prosperity has no chance of increment its prosperity level.

4. Production of Dissimilar Products

Human need is innumerous and so are human consuming items. Therefore, production is not limited to a single item and so, neither is the trade. Skills required to produce different commodities must be different and so the earning per unit timework must vary according to the skill.

As high technology, high cost proficiency α2 cannot be maintained in low prosperity economy, high prosperity economy has a monopoly in pricing of high tech and high cost production. Let 1C1 and 2C2 are costs of production of two economic strata within one unit time, then
The number of items is inversely proportional to production time value and vice versa. For example, If the producers A1 and A2 trouser technology and economy, their proficiency in trouser production can be compared but if A2 has aircraft proficiency but A1 does not have, A2 has a monopoly on fixing the aircraft production time value and so his proficiency time value. A2 has a prosperity gain over A1 The high prosperity producer generally produces those items which low producer cannot produce and fixes the price according to his prosperity. Trade of dissimilar products is easier because it disguises the real difference of labour costs in produced items.

5. Capital and Technology Transfer

In capitalist production system, capital and technology transfer is motivated by profit incentives. Due to sophisticated transportation technology, transfer of raw material is easy and cheap but immigration of cheap labour to prosperous economy is restricted. Hence, capitalists move to less prosperous economy in search of cheap labour. For the sake of profit due to cheap labor, technology is transferred to cheap labour area. Therefore, it is called technology transfer.
Productions are of two types: cheap non-human cost (material and technology) bearing productions like potato chips and costly non-human cost bearing productions such as microchips and they have different time values in different places. Cost of microchip material for unit time value work is hundreds of times more than that of potato chip material for the same time value work and so both non-human cost and human cost dictate the profit and terms of technology transfer. Let us take an example for it.

We find that while the cost of microchips production has a small difference, the cost of potato chip production is very much cheaper in low prosperity zone. Therefore, the first move of technology from high to low prosperity area is potato chip technology. In addition, high prosperity area can consume high cost products easily, low prosperity area cannot. Microchip technology is last to move to lower prosperity ever if it has to move.

6. Increment of Prosperity



On an economic society, the prosperity can be taken as a per capita income of the society and increment of prosperity as per capita increment of income. The equalization year n can be calculated on these data.
