The good credit
To begin with, "The credit system accelerates the material development of the productive forces... At the same time credit accelerates the violent eruptions of this contradiction -crises-and thereby the elements of disintegration of the old mode of production." -Karl Marx, Capital Vol. III
I start from the premise that having or not having credit is like a side effect of the production forces of capitalism.
First, the Definition , la palabra "credit"is the ability of a customer to obtain goods or services before payment, based on the trust that payment will be made in the future. (Oxford languages)
In addition, the Etimology, the word "credit" originated in the 1520s from the Middle French crédit, which means "belief, trust," and the Italian credito. It represents the, "I believe in you" aspect of extending trust in financial dealings.
What is a general example, and how do I use it?
It's used as a bridge of time. It allows you to obtain something today (a house, education, a product) that you will legally and financially finish paying for tomorrow. The "cost" of that belief is interest.
When we receive credit, we gain immediate access to something we want but cannot yet afford. It allows us to live beyond our means, to acquire things we desire, and to delay the consequences of our spending:. (Mason, 2025)
What does it mean to have good credit?
Having good credit means that a person has demonstrated a consistent history of borrowing money and repaying it responsibly and on time. It reflects "financial reliability" and credibility to the eyes of the system.
Furthermore, this question its always on my mind: Why is it important to understand finance through the Marxist canon and the class struggle?
I think is important to understand finance through the marxist canon because this help us to think critically and because it answer a lot of questions like for example the patterns of wealth concentration, economic crises, and systemic inequality.
Finally, good credit supports for a long time wealth building and financial autonomy. It allows people to invest, purchase property, and plan for the future with confidence. , Maintaining good credit reflects discipline. For these reasons, having good credit is not only important to me it is the quiditty for achieving stability and success.
