In the presence of the absence of budget restrictions, either by
property or by political power (monetary emission), even people become
commodities! (This applies to individuals and to Nations, except that
individuals don't take into account inflation, while Nations have to
take it into account.) The preference hierarchies of superbillionaires
difer then from that of other individuals in that it includes "goods"
which normally are not goods at all, namely, people. From an
axiological point of view the hierarchy of values of superbillionaires
is also different from that of individuals, as even consequences can be
considered as good to be bought, or actually, as goods already bought.
The question then is at what point a fortune turns into the equivalent
of ano budgetary restriction...
