The Force in Almost Everything

It is money. This sounds pessimistic, but it does not amount to much more than an accumulation of all influences in the world.

Consider one simple instance of economics: one purchase of one item by one person. The effect, of course, of that one purchase is not significant. The only thing that makes this significant is the accumulation of all consumer purchases, and, overall, where they come from and what they want. This is then a force, and the overall market adjusts.
Each case might as well be random, it would not change the method on which it operates.

Then there is politics, and, in a democracy, placed in the hands of the people. But that is individual people who may choose rationally how to cast their vote. The collection of people will ultimately decide, and the collection does not reason, and is influenced only by forces that may extend to the collection.

Thus politics becomes merely another element of the economy. While a specific act of government may be tuned one way or th other, overall, it must reflect the greatest force acting upon it. This is not even the minds of the politicians that affects it.

The reason for this is that money is the basis for the operation of the world, and the only basis which can extend to everything at once. It is a force which may act on every individual; it is the economy which controls the people who operate it, not the people who control the economy.
