00:00 - economy of copying
17:55 - what forms our wealth
22:59 - abundance in relationship
25:42 - etymology of "copy"
Nowadays, looking at the structure of the economy, and of our social and economic lives,
we can see that our interactions are defined primarily by the act of exchange. We evaluate
situations in terms of whether the exchange was fair. Society evolves and invents new principles of the fairness of this exchange. Meanwhile, we have seen that the act of exchange can't define all interactions that take place between people.
In the modern world an ever-increasing role is being played by products (goods) whose characteristics allow them to be copied. So when we invested labour, time and other resources into producing the first example, producing a second copy requires us to invest far fewer resources, until eventually it doesn’t require any resources or time.
In the first part of our conversation we decided to take a simpler case of interaction between
the two people that involve creation of that type of product and examine this interaction to see if we could see any characteristics of it that are different and cannot be defined by exchange.
