Scene 151: Realize the dream with both hands

One of the charms of philosophy is its funness.

Principal Woolsey was immersed in Doug's "contradictory and unification" for a long time before he restrained his spirit and continued to read "Low Tide and Prosperity - Discussion and Countermeasures of the Economic Cycle".

For older people, it is not easy to concentrate on reading a paper.

Most people in this world have been confused throughout their lives. A small number of elderly people who were once clear-headed will gradually become confused as they grow older.

Fortunately, the brain is like a muscle. For an elderly person like Principal Woolsey who often exercises his brain, reading a paper with new content is difficult, but it still works.

"My child, this is an excellent paper." Principal Woolsey praised it and began to think about where to publish this paper.

In this era, there were not many economic journals and magazines with global influence, and even in the United States, there was no society or journal specifically targeting the economic field.

Not to mention the impact factor. Based on the average citation of papers in the journal in the past two years, the impact factor of a magazine is determined. In 1859, this gameplay will take more than a hundred years before it will take shape.

Therefore, there is no broad journal system in the academic community of this era.

Even most researchers do not care much about papers even after completing the research. They even think that writing papers is formalistic.

Is the paper really formalistic?

It is undeniable that the paper has its formalistic side, but the positive promotion of the paper to scientific research is also very great.

The unity of contradictions is also reflected in the paper.

Because if you want to write a paper, you must at least have a complete idea, and experimental records are also indispensable.

For researchers of this era, there are too many surprises.

The discovery of aniline purple is an accident in the study of artificial synthesis of cinchona cream.

Just like following the original trajectory, the discovery that picric acid is explosive is also an accident.

The essence of scientific research is to find the internal laws of things, to turn unknowns into knowns, and to turn accidental into inevitable.

Principal Woolsey's long thinking finally ended, "My child, although your paper is good, I don't think it's very suitable to be published publicly immediately.

Because there are some contents in your paper that are not very suitable for too many people to know. Although you have proposed some solutions to the difficulties, in the eyes of others, the method you proposed is not a method.

You should first copy a few copies of the manuscripts and give them to these gentlemen."

Principal Woolsey wrote down the names of several people, their positions, and their correspondence addresses using his super wear-resistant iridium pen.

Doug took the paper full of names, opened his suitcase and said, "Teacher, in addition to this copy, I have several printed manuscripts here."

Doug, who owns the New Haven Times, wanted to turn his receipt into words that smelled ink, which was very simple.

"Oh! I forgot that you still have a newspaper now!" Principal Woolsey was surprised at first, and then smiled, "I had long thought that I would hand over your paper to other people to read. My child, you are really a clever person. I don't worry about doing things."

Doug locked the paper with his name into his suitcase and stood up again, and said to Principal Woolsey, "Teacher, I don't think the current economic crisis is resolved, but it can be alleviated.

It is unsolvable because capitalism can never reach a balance between production and consumption.

Production is for profit, and expanding production is for more profits.

Profits mainly come from consumption and exploitation.

The main groups of consumption and exploitation are all workers and farmers at the bottom, and their profits are taken away by capitalists, so naturally there is less money they can use to buy goods.

Therefore, under the premise of capitalism, production capacity will inevitably exceed consumption capacity, and inevitable unsalable sales will lead to inevitable economic crisis.

However, there are three ways to alleviate the economic crisis and delay the outbreak.

The first is to increase workers' welfare internally, increase agricultural product prices, and increase grassroots consumption capacity;

The second type is to expand externally, gain more markets through force and increase the number of consumers;

The third type is to change "monopoly" to "prosperity".

The third type is completely impossible, I think it is completely impossible for capitalists to sacrifice short-term interests and obtain longer-term interests. This is almost impossible.

Therefore, there is only the second one.

In front of us, the only goal we can conquer is the South.

So, at the end of the day, I still think the Civil War will break out in nearly two to three years.”

Principal Woolsey, looking at Doug's decisive appearance, admitted that what he said made sense.

However, admitting is admitting, but Principal Woolsey still has fantasies about the war.

Principal Woolsey changed the topic, "My child, I heard you have ideas about Blackhawk Bank recently?"

"Yes, I have ideas for Blackhawk Bank." Doug admitted nodded.

"Why?"

"Teacher, I now own and hold shares in the following companies:

Clayden Printing and Dyeing Factory, which is the factory used to produce Monopoly;

Tom and Doug Chemical Company and its affiliated dye workshop, the company that provides dyes for Monopoly;

The New Haven Times, a company that provides publicity for Monopoly and synthetic dyes;

Winchester Weapons, whether it is a chemical company's synthetic dyes and newspapers, will touch the vested interests of many people, so I need to produce weapons to protect myself,

However, although I now have the personnel rights of several companies, I feel that the connection between these companies is not close.

I found that I lack a bond, connecting them together, a bond that makes them a community of shared future.

This link is financial power, an institution that does not belong to any of the companies but can provide funds.

This institution is the bank.

That's why I want to attack Blackhawk Bank."

Principal Woolsey sorted out the business territory established by Doug and suddenly said, "Public opinion, weapons and explosives... Do you still believe that the war will inevitably break out?"

"yes."

"You want to look at your dreams with your own hands?"

"yes."

"Simplicity, tenacity, hard work, is the core of the American spirit since Mayflower. William, the arrogant and extravagant, has lost these qualities. My child, in your next actions, I will remain neutral and will not help you, nor will William.

You should hand over this paper and your Monopoly to the first person on the list now.

If you want to own Blackhawk Bank, his opinion is also important.”

"yes."
