0297 This judgment unfolds into the following nested form,<\/em> on the basis of the assigned categories<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0298 The normal context of capital & acquisition3<\/sub><\/em> brings the actuality of the fact that wealth and power are distinct and separate2<\/sub><\/em> into relation with the potential of ‘social & the exercise of order’1<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0299 Will that do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course not, the normal context of capitalism3<\/sub><\/em> veils the actuality2<\/sub> of the agreement<\/em> with a new, unified, term that is all about wealth (not power).  What is that term?  How about capital investment2<\/sub>?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is not enough, the potential of ‘social & exercise of order’1<\/sub><\/em> must also be veiled, as ‘something that wealth is not about at all’1<\/sub>.  What is capital investment2<\/sub> all about?  Is it1<\/sub> the potential of ‘entrepreneurial activity’1<\/sub>?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, who (except for maybe, Adam Smith) would imagine that the potential of ‘entrepreneurs’1<\/sub><\/em> is also the potential of ‘moral sentiments’1<\/sub>?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the term, “moral sentiments”, associate to “social, exercise of order”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, it does, but the word, “entrepreneur”, does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0300 The first permutation<\/em> yields a category-based nested form<\/em> that understands capital investment2<\/sub>, as if wealth is a thing itself<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The normal context of capitalism3<\/sub><\/em> brings the actuality of capital investment2<\/sub><\/em> into relation with the potential of ‘entrepreneurs’1<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this a noumenon<\/em> for the modern disciplines of economics and marketing?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0301 What about the second permutation?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture of the judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0302 Notice that the categorical assignments for what ought to be<\/em> and what is<\/em> are reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resulting nested form<\/em> looks very different than the nested form for capitalism<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0303 The normal context of social & the exercise of order3<\/sub><\/em> brings the actuality of the fact that wealth and power are distinct and separate2<\/sub><\/em> into relation with the potential of ‘capital & acquisition’1<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0304 Once again, that will not do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actuality2<\/sub> and the potential1<\/sub> must be veiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actuality2<\/sub> must be veiled because there is no returning to [wealth and power] as a single [substance].  Does the term, “social investment2<\/sub>” fulfill that mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, the potential1<\/sub> must be papered over in order to shift attention away from the one possibility1<\/sub> that underlies socialism3<\/sub>,<\/em> that is, the potential to control the beast <\/em>(of capital & acquisition) through the exercise of order1<\/sub>, that is, regulation1<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The normal context of socialism3<\/sub><\/em> brings the actuality of social investment2<\/sub><\/em> into relation with the potential of ‘administrators’1<\/sub>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I wonder, is this a noumenon<\/em> for the modern disciplines of the administrative sciences?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
