For thousands of years, since the earliest human civilizations, scholars have debated each other over values, whether concerning economic, political, or moral policies. They have searched for an answer to the question posed if there is an intrinsic value, that should stay true for all peoples. This short philosophical essay seeks to answer the research question, of whether or not intrinsic value can exist. The paper hypothesizes that alimited, general framework can be found. The paper uses a philosophical and historical process-tracing methodology, mostly for policies in the United States, the current world’s global power, discovering that most values of scholars, policymakers, business managers, and the public, particularly in economics and political science, can be broken down into a question about time frames. This essay then uses examples of debates of major economic and political policy differences across the past several decades, with which the author is most familiar with, to discover how such issues can be reduced to differences in time; thus, it shows that most values are relative to time, and that it is not always necessary, nor even possible, for countries to be united, such as with the current state of America, without any policy disagreements.
