unquantifiable value within itself, which permeates and saturates the capitalist modes of production, consumption and distribution( see diagram on page 4 above), shaping it, moulding it, expanding it etc.
Creative-power, a broader term embodying the limited Marxist definition of labor-power within itself, is more equipped to explain post-industrial socio-economic phenomena because it first and foremost starts with the fact that value and price do not equate, contrary to Marx’ s argument, due to the fact that general-value has unquantifiable characteristics and magnitudes. Creative-power as the source of general-value, i. e. quantifiable value and unquantifiable value, can never equate price and value in the sense that which is unquantifiable, that which skews the categories, always inevitably unhinges and detaches equalization, including total price and total value, from all balanced measurements. Creativepower detaches price and value from one another to such an extent that in fact the two never correspond in theory and / or in actuality. Moreover, because general-value embodies both quantifiable and unquantifiable value, as a concept, it can never be a scientifically numeric corporeal finite sum, as Marx argues, due to the fact that it is something which is nebulous with loose undefined margins, with both finite and indefinable qualities, depending on the perspective. As a result, because in effect general-value cannot be objectively and scientifically finalized ad infinitum, although many like Marx have tried, it cannot be finalized within any equation and / or equivalency, which genuinely seeks to explain real socioeconomic phenomena. Value, i. e. general-value, and creative-power have the capacity for unpredictability, simultaneity, plurality and incomprehensibility that can never truly conform to the scientific rigors of seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks etc. Consequently, this fundamental fact invalidates Marx’ s economic model, if one wants to truly get at the kernel of real socio-economic phenomena, namely, value, price, profit and wage, despite the fact that Marx’ s economic model and his analysis of capital are priceless jewels, indicative of his enormous creative-power.
Specifically, price, value, profit and wage are determinations that are never categorically fixed or stable. They are flexible slippery categories subject to loose flexible margins, governed by loose temporary network-structures and conceptual-perceptions, which are devoid of outside laws and / or any overarching law of value. Price, value, profit and wage are socially constructed. They are socially constructed through: 1. network-formations( corporate-formations, union-formations, friendshipformation, general networking etc.); 2. Managerial techniques, both individually( such things as positive thinking and notions of self-worth), and collectively( such things as cultural assumptions, professional assumptions, branding, race, gender, age, intelligence etc.). And finally and most importantly, 3. price, value, profit and wage are socially constructed within and through conceptual-perception. Conceptualperception is in essence the blast furnace and storehouse of price, value, profit and wage determinations, both individual conceptual-perception and / or collective conceptual-perception.
This is so, because creative-power, which produces general-value, always influences price, value, profit and wage in unquantifiable manners, thus breaking any chance of value, price, profit and wage ever corresponding together, for an extended period of time, in a rational mechanistic predictable economic model. As a result, due to the influence of creative-power upon capitalist production, consumption and distribution, value, price, wage and profit are arbitrary social constructs, they are determinations socially constructed through underlying struggles and tug of wars rather than any rational mechanistic economic calculations based on objective scientifically quantifiable values and / or capitalist laws. Although, many representatives and personifications of the logic of capitalism and the logic of Marxism attempt the contrary, via various manners and economic forms, so as to influence people to accept the narrow confines and definition of scientifically quantifiable value and labor-power.
Due to the influence of creative-power upon capitalist modes of production, consumption and distribution, contrary to Marx, rarely does 1 + 1 = 2, it is best to think of capitalism as something where 1 + 1 = 3, or 4, or 5, or any other irrational number that defies explanation; since, capitalism is foremost an ideational comprehensive framework laid unto reality, producing verities that are logical only within its
