Workers and Producers create money. Are you a Worker or are you a Producer? There seems to be some confusion between the two. They are similar but not exactly the same. They both have some of the same characteristics. They both perform work. They differ in that the working Producer creates money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power and the working non-producer and counter-producer does not create money, value, energy, wealth capital and power. Yet, the working non-producers and counter-producers seek to take money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power without exchanging goods and services for it.
This article on workers and Producers create money, is intended to help you understand the similarities and differences between workers and producers. It is intended to show how work can lead to no production. Normally you would think all work would lead to the creation of a commodity, trade, good or service, but that is not always the case.
Work is the effort in making or doing something. In Physics, work is the transference of energy from one body or system to another.
Production is the act of creating with intelligence and/or skill; to bring something into being.
Working Producers create wealth through the production of commodities, trades, goods and services marketed on the Open Market, open to all on equal terms. Working non-producers and counter-producers perform work but they do not create money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power because their work does not result in a product. A worker can be a producer of money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power. A worker can also be a counter-producer or a non-producer of money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power.
A working Producer is strictly classified as a producer of money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power. A working non-producer is classified as a non-producer of money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power. Strictly speaking a non-producer does not work yet receives money. A working counter-producer is classified as a counter-producer of money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power. A counter-producer creates destructive activities that destroy money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power.
This is an important distinction in order to avoid confusion on who creates money. Working Producers create money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power. Working Producers create prosperity for themselves, families, organizations, societies, nations, Mankind and environments. Working non-producers don’t create money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power. Working counter-producers create counter-prosperity for themselves, families, organizations, societies, nations, Mankind and environments. Yet, the Producer and the counter-producer can be workers.
Work
People can perform work and not create a product. The test is; does the produced commodity, trade, good or service harm the prosperity for the greatest number of individuals? This would include; does the produced commodity, trade, good or service harm the prosperity for individuals, families, organizations, societies, nations, Mankind, and environments? In other words does that commodity, trade, good or service enhance prosperity or not harm prosperity. If it harms prosperity it is work done while creating a non-product. If the commodity, trade, good or service, created by performing the work, enhances prosperity or does not harm prosperity we have a product and a Worker classified as a Producer creating it.
The Worker, who takes or receives money for things created that are not commodities, trades, products or services is stealing the value, energy, wealth, capital and power out of the society with no exchange for it. This is a destructive thrust. This destructive thrust harms the non-producing and counter-producing worker as well as the organizations, society, nation, Mankind and in many cases the environment.
The non-producers and counter-producers take energy, wealth, capital and power out of the organization, society, nation and Mankind. This lowers the prosperity potential of organizations, societies, nations, and Mankind. The prosperity potential is lowered, ever so slightly, every time a counter-producer and a non-producer take money with no product or a destructive activity exchanged for it.
Rewarding the counter-producer and the non-producer encourages more “work” that does not create a product. Rewarding the counter-producer and the non-producer increases the amount of money, energy, wealth, capital and power to be taken from an organization, society, nation and Mankind without an exchange for it. This puts the prosperity potential of an organization, society, nation, and Mankind on a downward spiral.
The Producers who are workers create money, value, energy, wealth, capital and power if they produce commodities, trades, goods and services and market these goods and services on the Open Market, open to all on equal terms. If a worker creates a destructive commodity, trade, good or service and receives money for it, this makes him/her a rewarded counter-producer on welfare. If a Worker produces a commodity, trade, good or service and does not market it on the Open Market and receives money for it, he/she is also a rewarded non-producer on welfare. A good or a service must always be marketed on the Open Market, open to all on equal terms, to be classified as a product. The only exception would be the Government provided regulated goods and services that are by their basic nature monopoly products.
In order for a creation to be classified as a product it must be needed and wanted, it must not harm the prosperity of the greatest number of people and the environment. It must be neutral or enhance prosperity for the greatest number of people and for the environment. It must be marketed on the Open Market, open to all on equal terms.
In order for a Worker to be classified as a Producer his/her creation must be classified as a Product. The criterion that defines a Product is in the following paragraph.
A commodity, trade, good or a service is a Product when it:
A. is marketed on The Open Market (open to all on equal terms,)
B. is needed and wanted and
C. does not harm the prosperity of the individual, family, organization, society, Mankind and environments.
Or it can be more fully stated by saying, “a commodity, trade, good, or service is a Product if it enhances prosperity for the greatest number of people.” Another way of stating it is, “a commodity, trade, good or service is a Product if it does not harm prosperity for the greatest number of people.
