Psychoeconomics: globalization, markets, crisis - стр. 24

Solar activity exerts a more direct effect on people of higher emotionality, the hysteroids. This is precisely the initial point of influence of cyclicity of solar activity on the progression and cyclicity of change in the basic psychotypes on Earth. At the same time, the increase in labor productivity is driven by the resonators, whose psychotype is opposite that of hysteroids. These are people who usually have paranoiac traits. The cycle of economic development under their influence is less related to the activity of the sun than is the cycle of development under the influence of the activity of hysteroids.

This approach by and large explains why the Kondatriev cycle has become a little skewed, it now differes from what it was in past centuries. And the more the US inflates the assets of the household and support their market, the more the period of activity of the post-postresonators in the economy is dragged out. This affects not only the US, but also other countries in the same development cycle.

In regard to what has been said, it is clear why the peak of CPI is antiphasic to the values of the material asset indexes. Hysteroids begin to increase their influence along with the growth of the consumer basket. They impart tone to economic processes. But hysteroids are more oriented by their type of intellect toward non-material values. At one point, Karl Marx called them “aesthetes” (see Das Kapital, v. 1, chapter 3). This point in the work of Marx is of such interest that it is worth quoting his thinking:

“In order that gold may be held as money, and made to form a hoard, it must be prevented from circulating, or from transforming itself into a means of enjoyment. The hoarder, therefore, makes a sacrifice of the lusts of the flesh to his gold fetish. He acts in earnest up to the Gospel of abstention. On the other hand, he can withdraw from circulation no more than what he has thrown into it in the shape of commodities. The more he produces, the more he is able to sell. Hard work, saving and avarice, are, therefore, his three cardinal virtues, and to sell much and buy little the sum of his political economy.

“To increase a possibly greater number of sellers of all commodities, or to reduce a possibly larger number of consumers – such is the main question which all measures of the political economy come down to.” (Verri.).

“By the side of the gross form of a hoard, we find also its æsthetic form in the possession of gold and silver articles. This grows with the wealth of civil society. ‘
