# Perfect competition

In economics, specifically general equilibrium theory, a perfect market is defined by several idealizing conditions, collectively called perfect competition.

## Quotes

* There are many anticipators of marginal analysis. Three major names were Augustin Cournot (1801-1877), J. H. von Thünen (1783-1850), and H. H. Gossen (1810-1858). Cournot's originality and ingenuity can hardly be exaggerated. 200 small pages, he described and defined the downward-sloping demand curve, completely analyzed the maximization of profit under conditions of monopoly, advanced an ingenious explanation of duopoly pricing, proved that equilibrium price occurred when aggregate supply equaled aggregate demand, and exactly defined the market from which we call perfect competition and he called "unlimited competition." And the book went unread.
** Robert Lekachman, A History of Economic Ideas (1959) Part III. Marginalists and Opponents: 10. The New Economics.
* To reach this highest form of competition, a market must have two characteristics: (1) The goods offered for sale are all exactly the same, and (2) the buyers and sellers are so numerous that no single buyer or seller has any influence over the market price. Because buyers and sellers in perfectly competitive markets must accept the price the market determines, they are said to be price takers. At the market price, buyers can buy all they want, and sellers can sell all they want. […] Despite the diversity of market types we find in the world, assuming perfect competition is a useful simplification and, therefore, a natural place to start. Perfectly competitive markets are the easiest to analyze because everyone participating in the market takes the price as given by market conditions. Moreover, because some degree of competition is present in most markets, many of the lessons that we learn by studying supply and demand under perfect competition apply in more complicated markets as well.
** N. Gregory Mankiw, Principles of Economics, 8th ed. (2018), Chap. 4 : The Market Forces of Supply and Demand
* The profit motive is inherently expansionary: investors try to recoup more money than they put in, and if successful, can do it again and again on a larger scale, colliding with others doing the same. Some succeed, some just survive, and some fail altogether. This is real competition, antagonistic by nature and turbulent in operation. It is the central regulating mechanism of capitalism and is as different from so-called perfect competition as war is from ballet.
** Anwar Shaikh, Capitalism: Competition, Conflict, Crises, Oxford University Press, 2016, p. 14
# Performance

## Quotes

* "For me, the most important thing is the element of chance that is built into a live performance. The very great drawback of recorded sound is the fact that it is always the same. No matter how wonderful a recording is, I know that I couldn't live with it -- even of my own music -- with the same nuances forever."
** Aaron Copland, quoted in Classic Essays on Twentieth-Century Music. ISBN 0028645812.
* "I hope my recordings of my own works won't inhibit other people's performances. The brutal fact is that one doesn't always get the exact tempo one wants, although one improves with experience."
** Aaron Copland, quoted in Classic Essays on Twentieth-Century Music. ISBN 0028645812.

But not until today has he begun to notice that the earth on which he moves is covered with sweat and with blood and that in the world in which he lives "the son of man has nowhere to lay his head."

### Venus in Furs (1870)

Venus Im Pelz (EPUB) (EN: gutenberg.org)
* "And the moral of the story?" I said to Severin when I put the manuscript down on the table. "That I was a donkey," he exclaimed without turning around, for he seemed to be embarrassed. "If only I had beaten her!" "A curious remedy," I exclaimed, "which might answer with your peasant-women-" "Oh, they are used to it," he replied eagerly, "but imagine the effect upon one of our delicate, nervous, hysterical ladies--" "But the moral?" "That woman, as nature has created her and as man is at present educating her, is his enemy. She can only be his slave or his despot, but never his companion. This she can become only when she has the same rights as he, and is his equal in education and work." "At present we have only the choice of being hammer or anvil, and I was the kind of donkey who let a woman make a slave of him, do you understand?" "The moral of the tale is this: whoever allows himself to be whipped, deserves to be whipped."

# Leopold Kronecker

Leopold Kronecker (December 7, 1823 – December 29, 1891) was a Prussian mathematician and logician who argued that arithmetic and analysis must be founded on "whole numbers."

## Quotes

* Die ganzen Zahlen hat der liebe Gott gemacht, alles andere ist Menschenwerk.
** God made the integers, all the rest is the work of man.
** In a lecture to the Berliner Naturforschung-Versammlung, 1886; quoted in the obituary “Leopold Kronecker”, by H[einrich] Weber, in Jahresbericht der Deutsche Mathematiker Vereinigung, 1893, page 19
** Quoted in "Philosophies of Mathematics" - Page 13 - by Alexander George, Daniel J. Velleman - Philosophy - 2002
* Es handelt sich um meinen liebsten Jugendtraum, nämlich um den Nachweis, dass die Abel’schen Gleichungen mit Quadratwurzeln rationaler Zahlen durch die Transformations-Gleichungen elliptischer Functionen mit singularen Moduln grade so erschöpft werden, wie die ganzzahligen Abel’schen Gleichungen durch die Kreisteilungsgleichungen.

## Quotes about Kronecker

* Now it is time for us to realize that, in his Grundzüge, Kronecker did not merely intend to give his own treatment of the basic problems of ideal-theory which form the main subject of Dedekind's life-work. His aim was a higher own. He was, in fact, attempting to describe and to initiate a new branch of mathematics, which would contain both number-theory and algebraic geometry as special cases. This grandiose conception has been allowed to fade out of our sight, partly because of the intrinsic difficulties of carrying it out, partly owing to historical accidents and to the temporary successes of the partisans of purity and of Dedekind. It will be the main purpose of this lecture to try to rescue it from oblivion, to revive it, and to describe the few modern results which may be considered as belonging to the Kroneckerian program.

## About

* Leopold von Schroeder's interest in the problem of the Aryan came from completely different sources than that of Heinrich Zimmer and would be worth a more detailed presentation. ... In his lectures on "India's Literature and Culture in Historical Development" (1887) he presents Indian culture from this perspective. However, he is far removed from the German-ethnic view of history that was increasingly practiced in the capital of the German Empire at the time, and initially leans much more towards its antipodes in Basel. He took his cue from Jakob Burckhardt and Friedrich Nietzsche, who do not focus on the national community but on the individual, the new Dionysian human being, and deny the state, as well as traditional church education, the ability to form this new human being and perfect him for his task in history. However, what is meant in a generally philosophical sense by Burckhardt and Nietzsche becomes very consciously German in Schroeder's implementation....
