亨利·福特:我的生活与工作·补录 297

亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导

Personal want may be avoided without changing the general condition. Wage increases, price increases, profit increases, other kinds of increases designed to bring more money here or money there, are only attempts of this or that class to get out of the fire--regardless of what may happen to everyone else. There is a foolish belief that if only the money can be gotten, somehow the storm can be weathered. Labour believes that if it can get more wages, it can weather the storm. Capital thinks that if it can get more profits, it can weather the storm. There is a pathetic faith in what money can do. Money is very useful in normal times, but money has no more value than the people put into it by production, and it can be so misused. It can be so superstitiously worshipped as a substitute for real wealth as to destroy its value altogether.

白话

个人欲望可以暂时避开,但整体状况没变。涨工资、涨价格、涨利润,各种“涨”只是某一群想从火里逃出来的办法,不管别人死活。大家迷信钱能挡风暴:劳工以为多拿工资就安全,资本以为多拿利润就安全。钱在正常时候有用,但它的价值来自人们用生产注入的东西,也可能被滥用,甚至被当成真正财富的替身来崇拜,结果反而毁掉价值。核心是:只靠多分钱不解决系统问题。可执行的做法是:遇到压力时,先问“我们创造了什么真实价值”,再谈分配,别把货币数字当成安全本身。

上下文

福特批评劳资双方都迷信涨钱能渡过难关,指出货币价值最终取决于生产。

今日一问

你最近一次争取“多拿钱”,有没有先问自己多创造了什么?
