Let me reconstruct the way I thought.

 

Humans are energy transformers with their powers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics).

 

Modifying equation for Gross output (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_product) one can write:

 

Input goods energy+Humans energy = Output goods energy

 

So, surplus value is of energetical form. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surplus_value

 

Humans labor energy = (Human power1)*(labor time)+(Human power2)*(leisure time)+(Human power3)*(sleep time);

 

Human powers 1,2,3 can be calculated by medical measurements considering age, weight, job type, dietology etc.

 

Provided we know how to express all input goods in Joules, we can get real value of output goods.

For example, if we know price of one Joule and input goods' price, we can recalculate output goods' price (in monetary units). Then it is possible to compare actual prices with that obtained by energetical recalculation. May be this can be used in investments analysis.

My thanks to everybody participated in this discussion.

 

Last 2 points:

 

1. Human organism is like a factory with corresponding inputs and outputs. Why same industrial principles concerning profitability (or rentability) cannot be applied to a human body?

2. http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ Personally to me this fact is similar to "A is not A" (A=/=A) statement.

Post Scriptum

 

       Imagine abstract country that suffers due to hyperinflation. For four years (2010-2014) inflation reached 100%. And now I have monetary units printed both in 2010 and 2014 on hand. Then what? Unit printed in 2010 equals 2 units printed in 2014?!! No! They are equally cheap. Their purchasing powers are equal. If inflation is a miscalculation then why deflation is almost a myth?

       There must be another interpretational equivalence for economic processes except monetary. Money emission that does not present economic activities is a mediated thievery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah) and inflation measures it. Refusal to accept state money is a state crime.

Editing function has disappeared, so I add my thoughts here.

 

Inflation is a process when everybody loses. How's that? Usually in nature if somebody loses then somebody gains. People don't destroy money voluntarily. How come for generations mankind lost and lost and lost due to inflation?

1. Humanism

2. Socialism

3. Survivalism

4. Utopism

I invite all of you to ponder about alternative vision of our life regulation.
