Business is a special term

Speaking about business often it is accepted to make about such definition “Business is the commercial activity directed on …” well and so on.

Making such definition, we lose sight of one important detail. First of all, business is a term - a special word to which the certain sense is fixed.

Losing sight of that business is first of all the special term, we get to “a uselessness trap”. We say a word - but behind it it is possible, it means nothing. The word becomes useless. And now it is possible to speak, though "business" though “supersuper” - semantic loading aspires to zero, and a word does not bring any advantage.

For term filling by certain value the scientific theory responds. Actually, the science possesses monopoly for definition (and redefinition) senses. Thus it is not necessary to think, that it is a question of idle chatter which concerns "mere mortals" a little. Discrepancy of definition (and the worse false) leads to rather sad consequences.

Perhaps it is necessary to give an example. Charles Marx has defined, that the income of the capitalist is a consequence of working class operation - the capitalist selects an income part on justice belonging to the worker. The mankind pays off for this incorrect definition to this day as it is an ideological basis for "revolutionaries" of all colours. Actually, the income of the capitalist is a consequence of its ability to put resources in satisfaction of requirements. False definition conducts to incessant conflicts, and correct - to peace cooperation. However, we will return to an essential.

In a situation when scientific (exact and correct) value of the term is not known to wide ranges of users, arises a wide field of activity for swindlers of all colours. They use the popular, untwisted word, but load with its any sense. Results are pitiable. The user misled receives illnesses instead of health, poverty instead of riches, problems instead of decisions, imitation instead of creativity. We observe such situation pretty often.

To avoid senseless and useless knowledge it is necessary to remember, that 1) each word has certain value, 2) monopoly for definition of values scientists possess, 3) the term "business" has been entered into the scientific theory by the Irish economist Richard Kantilon, in job “the Sketch about the trade nature in general”, published in 1755.
