responsibility to sell

When one owns a monopoly over a particular resource, I think it's their duty to sell at a fair value. Have any true resource monopolies existed/exist? I would consider it a monopoly if, due to governing body, all the resources in the area are owned by one, in the case of importing prohibitions and especially when leaving the community (state/country (probably!)) is prohibited or entrance into a new one isn't do-able.

Sorry for the beginner's dual-threads, I just thought this warranted its own.

You said, “I think it's their duty to sell at a fair value.”

Define duty and fair value. Do you consider government coercion the enforcer of that duty? Or a lynch mob? That is not what Rand’s Atlas would consider an objective position.

Or is the free market to decide?

Fair market value is based on need. There perhaps is an equation that can determine what is worth what but a hierarchy needs to be established. I will throw out some values:water(sometimes has to be purified), food, fossil fuels, steel, building materials, copper, rare earth metals, science equipment's anti-derivative.

The point I'm trying to make is a standard mathematical model based on human LIFE could be created and could be used in peaceful...I'm looking for a word that means embargo on an individual scale.

Any experts in any field offering facts will lead us in the direction of the mathematics of "VAlUE", but it's going to be a long road (perhaps someone has achieved this feat.

To answer the above response, I'd say, fair use should be at play. Certainly if someone is squandering value, using, say, an iron deposit for a playground, they must be stopped. The how is based on situation. Does there ever become a time resource squatting can warrant force? I'm unsure.

Do you have a team of therapists working with you?

Karl Marx could have written: Fair market value is based on need. There perhaps is an equation that can determine what is worth what but a hierarchy needs to be established.
end quote

A Fair Market is based on freedom not coercion. If some individuals devise a formula for price controls then it is planned, progressive, Marxism even if Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, or Pol Pot are not used as originators of your doctrine. A fair price is what someone WILLINGLY pays for a product. Your supposed hierarchy would be rulers who tell you what to do and they must be obeyed. Perhaps you should reread Animal Farm. Your philosophy is on a punitive, juvenile level. Stop calling yourself Atlas. You are Attila.

To be fair, that is from Field of Dreams, James "The Voice" Earl Jones to Kevin Cosner
