The Relativity of Prices and the True Sense of Capitalism Under the Universal Law of Balance

Abstract This paper examines the philosophical and systemic contradictions of capitalism in light of the inherent relativity of prices. It argues that capitalism’s meaning and purpose can only be fully understood through the framework of the universal law of balance in nature. When prices fail to represent true value—due to distortions in perception, scarcity, and artificial manipulation—the economic system becomes defective, violating the law of karma, which governs the integrity of all systems. The paper proposes that only a capitalism aligned with natural balance—reflecting true costs and holistic feedback—can achieve sustainable harmony between human decisions, social welfare, and ecological stability.
