Utilitarianism and Capitalism

The correspondence of Utilitarianism and Capitalism is based on those of Pleasure and Gain, and Pain and Loss.  So, one problem for both systems is that the Atomism of each is undermined by any payment entailing both a Gain and a Loss, i. e. by the payee and the payer, respectively.  A further challenge is posed by Nietzsche's thesis that Will to Power is the seeking to discharge strength.  For, as has been previously discussed, as applied to Purchase Power, it entails that payment is pleasurable, i. e. that a Loss is a Pleasure.  Common to the two problems is an inadequacy of Capitalism to the concept of Loss.  In the first, it cannot recognize the complentarity of Gain and Loss, and, in the second, it cannot recognize the possibility of Loss being beneficial.  Utilitarianism exposes these inadequacies because it represents Loss as Pain, and Pain is an essential ingredient in its calculus.  But, it, too, is inadequate in each case, due, in both, to its Atomism.  Because it can represent two events only as mutually extrinsic, it cannot represent the complementarity that obtains between the Pleasure of one person's Gain, and the Pain of another's Loss in the transaction.  Likewise, it must separate an Action, e. g. spending money, from the Pleasure taken in it, and, to re-connect them, reconstruct the latter as a consequence of the former.
