A far more efficient economic system is possible
|
Author: Bart klein Ikink
12 steps to freedom and wealth
|
Summary
We live in an economic system that is very inefficient. The consequences of these inefficiencies are clearly visible
in the form of the credit crisis. Many companies will go bankrupt because of lack of demand, even though they make
useful products. Many people will become unemployed, so demand falls back even further. Governments and central banks
are intervening, which disturbs the functioning of markets. This enables inefficient companies to remain in business
when they benefit from government intervention and the intervention in the financial system by central banks.
Now we are at the point that the authorities have taken over most banks. In the future the state will place banks under
strict supervision, so that the state will decide who gets money and who does not. This is the global communist revolution
of October 2008.
It is possible to achieve a much greater prosperity, with maximum capital growth without inflation, large debts, economic
crises, unproductive government intervention and the unproductive part of the financial sector. Natural selection
will ultimately determine the most efficient economic system, despite the political power structures that still exist at
this moment. The investigation of alternatives and dissemination of knowledge will accelerate this process, but the
ultimate outcome will not change. The most efficient economic system is, I believe, a variant of the economy of the natural
order, which was first described by Silvio Gesell.
In this article I will show in 12 short steps how the economy of the natural order will work. Then I will give a real world
example of the economy of the natural order, showing that it works as described. Then I will illustrate the strength of the
economy of the natural order, using examples from history. On www.naturalmoney.org the theory is described in detail.
The charging of interest is the way to slavery. This is because people may be hoarding money for a rainy day. When more
people do this simultaneously, money is removed from circulation, weakening the economy. When this happens, even more people
will start hoarding money, because they expect times getting worse. This is the beginning of an economic crisis. Many
people will lose their income, and if they do not have money, they must borrow money against interest for unavoidable
expenses such as food. As a result, the situation becomes even worse.
Abolition of interest is the way to freedom. Free people are more productive than slaves. Abolition of interest will
therefore lead to greater prosperity.
The 12 steps
1. Interest on money should be banned. This is the only prohibition. Return on capital is a good thing, and should not be
abolished.
2. Raise a tax on money, for example, one percent per month. This is not a tax on wealth, so shares, real estate and money
lent, are not taxed.
3. Do not print more money, so there will be no inflation.
4. Because there is a tax on money, people will soon use the money to:
- to invest;
- to consume;
- to lend without interest.
5. Because on money lent, no interest may be charged:
- money will not be lent to unreliable individuals, businesses and structures.
- less money will lent and more money will be directly invested in equities and real estate.
- money will only be lent to reliable people, people with collateral and well-financed companies can borrow without
interest.
6. Therefore there will never be an economic crisis, because money is spent directly and there are no bad loans.
7. Because all money is directly used for investment or consumption, everyone is at work and the economy grows steadily at
maximum speed.
8. The financial sector is largely superfluous, and that is a good thing, because this sector produces nothing and
destabilises the economy. People working in financial services will get another job quickly, because the economy grows
steadily at maximum speed.
9. Governments also need much less to interfere with the economy. The people who did this work, will get another job quickly.
10. As the economy grows constantly at maximum speed, and because no more money is printed, prices will fall. Therefore
loans with zero percent interest will have a return that is probably higher than the interest rate you will get at the
bank now. The money you lent will be worth more when the loan matures.
11. If one country chooses to apply this system, it will attract capital from other countries since the return of loans
with zero percent interest rate is higher than the yield on interest in other countries (bizarre but true!). Therefore,
all other countries will need to do this, if one country has changed its money system in this way.
12. Now everyone is free. There is no fear in the economy. There will always be work for employees and there will always
be customers for viable businesses. Nobody is deeply in debt.
If you do think this will not work, you are wrong. It has been tried and it worked very well.
The miracle of Wörgl
On July 5th 1932, in the middle of the Great Depression, the Austrian town of Wörgl made economic history by
introducing a remarkable complimentary currency. Wörgl was in trouble, and was prepared to try anything. Of
its population of 4,500, a total of 1,500 people were without a job, and 200 families were penniless.
The mayor, Michael Unterguggenberger, had a long list of projects he wanted to accomplish, but there was hardly
any money with which to carry them out. These included repaving the roads, streetlights, extending water
distribution across the whole town, and planting trees along the streets.
Rather than spending the 40,000 Austrian schillings in the town’s coffers to start these projects off, he
deposited them in a local savings bank as a guarantee to back the issue of a type of complimentary currency known
as 'stamp scrip'. This requires a monthly stamp to be stuck on all the circulating notes for them to remain valid,
and in Wörgl, the stamp amounted 1% of the each note’s value. The money raised was used to run a soup kitchen
that fed 220 families.
Because nobody wanted to pay what was effectively a hoarding fee, everyone receiving the notes would spend them
as fast as possible. The 40,000 schilling deposit allowed anyone to exchange scrip for 98 per cent of its value
in schillings. This offer was rarely taken up though.
Of all the business in town, only the railway station and the post office refused to accept the local money.
When people ran out of spending ideas, they would pay their taxes early using scrip, resulting in a huge increase
in town revenues. Over the 13-month period the project ran, the council not only carried out all the intended
works projects, but also built new houses, a reservoir, a ski jump, and a bridge. The people also used scrip to
replant forests, in anticipation of the future cash flow they would receive from the trees.
The key to its success was the fast circulation of scrip within the local economy, 14 times higher than the
schilling. This in turn increased trade, creating extra employment. At the time of the project, Wörgl was the
only Austrian town to achieve full employment.
Six neighbouring villages copied the system successfully. The French Prime Minister, Eduoard Dalladier, made a
special visit to see the 'miracle of Wörgl'. In January 1933, the project was replicated in the neighbouring city
of Kirchbuhl, and in June 1933, Unterguggenburger addressed a meeting with representatives from 170 different
towns and villages. Two hundred Austrian townships were interested in adopting the idea.
At this point, the central bank panicked, and decided to assert its monopoly rights by banning complimentary
currencies. The people unsuccessfully sued the bank, and later lost in the Austrian Supreme Court. It then
became a criminal offence to issue 'emergency currency'.
The town went back to 30% unemployment. In 1934, social unrest exploded across Austria. In 1938, when Hitler
annexed Austria, he was welcomed by many people as their economic and political saviour.
Natural Money in history
Using the concept of natural money, I will try to explain some historic facts, which puzzled historians for a long
time. Some intriguing historic questions are:
1. How could Western Europe become so powerful during the Middle Ages? They were backwards at the beginning, annihilated by
Black Death, and still came out on top.
2. How could the Egyptians build pyramids? This required a great wealth and a great organisation.
3. Why did Rome collapse? They had the greatest civilisation and military organisation at the time.
Although the explanation is speculative, and not proven, there is some logic in it.
The rise of Europe
When the Roman Empire collapsed, Europe fell back into a dark period, called the Middle Ages. Money ceased to exist, because
gold and silver disappeared out of circulation. Europe was very fragmented and in general there was no central power
structure. Some local lords issued scrip currencies. Those currencies were valid for a limited period of time. After that
period, the people holding the currency, had to return it to the ruler and a tax was levied. Those new units were also valid
for a limited period of time. The actual value of the unit decreased slowly during the period and was the lowest just before
the tax was due.
Not much is known about money in the Middle Ages. What is known however, is that the people of the Middle Ages were deeply
aware of the temporality of human life. Memento mori was the motto of the people in the Middle Ages. This means: remember
the day that you will die. The charging of interest was strictly forbidden and people felt morally obliged not to do this.
Therefore, the people of the Middle Ages were inclined to spend their money fast.
If we assume this worked like in Wörgl, we may assume that Europe was building capital at maximum speed using full
employment. Europe had to start at a very low level. Also, the local lords waged many wars that were destroying capital.
But wealth steadily increased, faster than on any other part of the planet. When the crusades started, there was so much
wealth to spend on a useless war, that Europeans could battle the Muslims for centuries on their own ground, keeping long
supply lines, while the conquered land was not profitable. After that, Black Death annihilated about one third of the
population, but only one century later, the exploration and exploitation of the rest of the world by Europe had begun.
The building of the pyramids
In the bible there is a story about a pharaoh having a bad dream about seven fat cows being eaten by seven lean cows. This
dream was explained to the pharaoh. He was told seven good years would come and after that seven bad years would follow.
Joseph advised the Egyptians to store food on a large scale. They built storehouses for food. Farmers bringing in the food,
got receipts for corn. Bakers who wanted to make bread, brought in the receipts, which could be exchanged for corn. It did
not take long before the receipts where generally accepted as money. Because of the degradation of the corn and mice eating
it, the value of the receipts was steadily decreasing. This enticed people to spend the money fast.
The grain receipt system lasted for many centuries. It made sense to store food to provide for hard times. If we assume this
this worked like in Wörgl, we can assume that also Egypt was building capital at maximum speed using full employment.
At some point, irrigation systems were in place, houses were built, and there was nothing left to do. Because there was no
limit on the ego of pharaohs, and they were worshipped like gods, the pharaohs could use this wealth to build pyramids.
The people building the pyramids were probably no slaves but economically free men. The Egyptian civilisation lasted for
more than 2000 years, far longer than any civilisation ever.
The fall of Rome
Rome lasted only 700 years. The money system was based on gold and silver. In the beginning Rome was able to expand, and
therefore capital could grow faster than interest charges. But after 400 years the expansion was over, and slowly growing
debt was becoming a drag on the economy. The government was permanently short of funds. The value of money was
constantly devaluated. The military was also badly funded, and therefore other people could invade Roman lands. Debt was
destroying Rome.

Cryptic night to everyone! Cryptic indeed, as we all received this cryto-fascist measure led by the Aryan Master Race prototype, Arnold the Terminator, that reverses the state law concerning gay marriage in his wealthy state of California.
Arnold the Terminator is getting to resemble closer now the same dreaded morbidity machine of the movie series that featured him as the old prototype Terminator. Not satisfied with the narratives of bloodletting by the Nazi Aryans of his beloved Austria home, narratives that penetrated deep into his bone marrows (his source of intelligence), he has now devised an agenda to persecute the gays of California.
The Terminator’s agenda had already spread to other states, which is sending signals that his country’s folks might just get happier by passing on to gays their collective Bogey Person which they would all desire to destroy via mass hysteria cum plebiscite legitimation tactics. With the USA & Europe now on the way to rapid economic downspin, a phenomenon that had induced higher anxieties and anomie, the collective outlet might be this Bogey ‘Man’: gay & lesbian. More >

Some of us have been on a particularly pink Cloud Nine since Barack Hussein Obama was elected the next President of the United States. But this is 5 days later and here are the Sunday papers. If we haven't been jolted out of our reverie yet by the reactions of people not sharing it, it should happen today.
I was not a total convert to Senator Obama, even after being in the midst of one of his ecstatic rallies, but I ended up on the team knocking door-to-door on Election Day. While wearing an Obama button, I nevertheless saw myself as enabling both friend and foe to get to the polls if they wanted to. While cautious and frankly very worried about the shotgun fringe around here, who loudly refused to vote for any of those liars anywhere, I wasn't prepared for the aftermath among Republicans, Libertarians, Evangelicals and those even farther to the right.
I don't think I've seen, after any of the elections in my lifetime, the opposition explode in such disarray. I snuck a listen to rightwing AM radio Wednesday night, and heard Sean Hannity blasting the Republican Party as a bunch of phonies, too scared to stand up for any of the real conservative values. Evangelicals at work, particularly those with single-issue concerns about abortion, haven't spoken to me since Tuesday. I wrote a piece honoring folk singer/songwriter Holly Near, posted it on the Internet (I was trying to change the subject) and the comment thread blew up into flames and personal invective about Obama. As I look around at other blogs and comment pages to analysis, I see I wasn't alone in having this happen.
Yesterday the UK Guardian published an article with the subtitle "The Right Tears Itself Apart In Pinning Blame For McCain's Defeat." It begins,
"As the implosion of the defeated Republican campaign continued yesterday, the landscape of American conservatism was dotted with signs that these were very strange times indeed.
"Rush Limbaugh, behemoth of rightwing radio, took to the airwaves to declare war on two enemies: Barack Obama and the Republican party. Bloggers at FreeRepublic.com, an internet hub for conservatives, announced a boycott of Fox News and John McCain's aides fell over one another to leak embarrassing details about the campaign to the press.
"Liberals, indulging in what the writer Andrew Sullivan termed 'Palinfreude', were presented with a smorgasbord, ranging from the tale of how McCain's pro-Palin foreign policy adviser had his Blackberry confiscated in the closing days of the race, to how the party had paid for Todd Palin's silk boxer shorts."

This morning The New York Times is carrying opinion columns not only from the usual Sunday commentators Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd, but from their other writers too, like Thomas Friedman and Nicholas Kristof---and even more, including Al Gore. And there are the blogs in there and other columns too, all about the election...and what's next. Take your choice~~~ [link]
What I decided to do was open space for the most extreme rants anybody's still got bottled up. Let's just get it all out and hope that after a few days of venting, we can return to the business of our everyday with normal composure and focus. The Republicans pinned a lot of their attack on a supposed underground relationship and influence with Chicago resident, professor, and activist Bill Ayers. As far as I know, Mr. Ayers said nothing in public about all this during the campaign. Now he does. What do you think? More >

Amidst concerns for the future of mankind, shortly after a nice little home-brewn monetary crisis, here comes the new American dream, revisited 2008: Barack Obama.
Fascinating to watch how the mass media switches from whining to hoping, worldwide, unisono, of course, with no major newspaper detracting. This alone should give you to think: how come? Where's the catch?
First of all, the actual politics is made by 545 people, see Merlin's wise words [link] !
Even more of concern should be Obama's team. Quote from [link] : "Obama's main overall image adviser and foreign policy adviser is Zbigniew Brzezinski, the co-founder of David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission, and the mastermind of the disastrous Carter administration."
What about economy: (again quoted) "From Wikipedia: 'Austan D. Goolsbee is an economist and is currently the Robert P. Gwinn Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. He is also a Research Fellow at the American Bar Foundation[1], Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a member of the Panel of Economic Advisors to the Congressional Budget Office."
So, there you have it! Nothing NEW, in the contrary, America goes back to the time of Jimmy Carter, congratulations, good luck, folks!
Obama in short: new face, same old...
But enough of this negativity! Let's "think positive" for a moment! Let's go..
WHAT IF, yes, what if the idea that is supposedly behind the masterplan of our rulers were true? Meaning, that the interpretation of Kant's 'thesis-antithese-synthesis' were correct, which would, in the extreme, mean that 'war creates evolution of man' (or at least accelerates it)?
A bold move, which reminds me of: More >

While working with our Wounded Warriors in our Ft. Bliss Restoration & Resilience Center, we notice how families suffer as well. Seems that when soldiers go off to war and their families are left to fend for themselves, often while their partners are deployed for several tours, it often takes months and even years to get to know one another. The families do have many Support Services on post, but when 20% or more of the force are wounded physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, there are just not enough resources to respond quickly to the challenges of TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), PTSD and the numerous physical and mental injuries that require a broad spectrum of specialists.
This research identifies the tours of duty for the marines who average just over 3 months in this report, while the US Army units are much longer. We have one infantry soldier who left home at 18 and returned home when he was 23. Can you imagine what happens physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually to a young soldier when we send teenagers to war and return them when they are young adults? Another soldier that I worked with has been married and deployed with 3 children and he has been with his family for only 7 of the 15 years of marriage. Is it any wonder that the divorce rate is so high in the military?
Do pass this message on to others so that we can advocate for developing and advancing more health and family resources and to also encourage our government to examine the serious affects and consequences of long tours on couples and families. Obvious to me is that when the troop morale goes down, our forces will not be able to protect and secure our Nation as we would expect. May God Bless all of our Warriors and their Families.

More than 2 million U.S. children have had parents deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan during the wars there, according to background information in the article. About 40 percent of these children are younger than 5. "Recent policy statements from the American Psychological Association and the Department of Defense Task Force on Mental Health have called for research on the effect of wartime deployments on children in military families," the authors write.
Molinda M. Chartrand, M.D., of the Boston University School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center, and colleagues studied 169 families with children age 1½ to 5 who were enrolled in military childcare centers at a large Marine base in 2007. Parents and childcare providers each completed a behavior problem assessment that analyzed both internalizing (such as anxiousness, depression and withdrawal) and externalizing (such as attention problems and aggression) behaviors in the children. Parents also completed a questionnaire to measure their own level of depression. Caregivers provided information about the rank and deployment status of the parent in the service, as well as family composition and both parents' age, education and ethnicity.
Of the 169 families, 55 (33 percent) had a deployed parent, with an average deployment length of 3.9 months. Children age 3 and older who had a deployed parent had significantly higher scores on measures of externalizing and overall behavior problems than children of the same age without a deployed parent. "Such reported differences might be dismissed as distorted perceptions of the child by the distressed non-deployed parent; however, the association remained after controlling for parental stress and depressive symptoms," the authors write. In addition, childcare providers reported similarly elevated scores.
"Larger, longitudinal studies are needed to ascertain whether there are changes in children's behavior from the time before parental deployment, during parental deployment and at the time of reunification," the authors write. "This information is necessary to provide clinicians serving military families with evidence-based anticipatory guidance and clinical interventions. Finally, the needs of the children of deployed parents in the National Guard and Reserves also warrant urgent further elucidation."
This study was supported by the Joel and Barbara Alpert Foundation and the Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Support in the form of books was provided by Reach Out and Read.
This article describes how children and family services are needed to address these issues as well.
**********************************
Editorial: Changes in Policy and Services Needed
"The decision to send troops into war is never taken lightly, and the sacrifices experienced by the soldiers, their families and their country are heavy burdens that may be considered intrinsic to war itself," write David J. Schonfeld, M.D., and Robin Gurwitch, Ph.D., of the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, in an accompanying editorial. "However, our country's policies must be based on efforts to take all reasonable steps to minimize known negative effects; thus, these research results, which are unlikely to be surprising to pediatricians and other child health care providers, are nonetheless timely and important."
"Findings from this study highlight the need for increased attention to the mental health concerns of young children of deployed soldiers as well as the mental health concerns of the soldiers and non-deployed spouses," they continue. "They raise questions of how to best determine deployment length and what preventive measures can be taken to reduce stress and distress to the non-deployed spouses and children left behind." More >

In lieu of the recent "elections" I am introducing Anne's article with a sentient reminder from Judge Andrew Napolitano in hopes that perhaps a few will read his 'stuff' and via that lens review just what an Obama 'presidency' forbodes. Centrism and Marxism are anethema to freedom and liberty. Be forwarned and rebuild the levees of your shattered minds with something of worth. At present the America of the 'Founders' is no more and remains a slowly dying ember in the hearts of those who once had a dream. Obama means fascism will tender it's already tight reign over the hearts and minds of the people with more of the same Franklin Delano Bush policy. Redistribution of wealth does not mean freedom and liberty for all. On the contrary it is a subtle form of enslavement to the ideals of the cowardly princes of resident Oligarchy.
"Mr. President, what new natural disaster, exacerbated by political incompetence, will the federal government pay for next? The remedy for political incompetence is not more money in the hands of the incompetents, it is to vote the bums out of office. Mr. President, who re-built Galveston after its flood and Chicago after its fire and San Francisco after its earthquake? Free enterprise and low taxes; not the federal government.
"President Franklin Roosevelt's favorite Supreme Court justice, Felix Frankfurter, who spent a lifetime justifying the New Deal under the Constitution, had a change of heart at the end of his career. When he proclaimed that the Constitution was not written to enable the federal government to right every wrong, he was trying to amend his past and send a warning to the future. Was anyone listening?

No He Can't
by Anne Wortham
Fellow Americans,
Please know: I am black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote for Barack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul's name as my choice for president. Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a black president to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worth living. I do not require a black president to love the ideal of America. More >

"The more things change the more they stay the same." -- Quark
Times, they are changing. Today America voted its first black American president.
I see Obama's election from two perspectives, however: from the dream and from Reality.
What do I mean by the dream? I believe all forms and ideas are inherently empty i.e. they are free of concepts, beliefs and meanings. For instance if I hear a dog barking, I can either hear it as a dog barking, or I can make up reasons why the dog is barking. I experience that meaning in my own consciousness. Life is what I believe it means for me. In other words, I'm constantly making things up as I go along and joining with like-minds who share my meanings. When I'm making things out of nothing, I am dreaming. More >

For all you who are still sitting on the fence, thinkin' this is about Obama vs McCain - or thinkin' it's not about a politician saving us - cuz he can't -
CATCH IT!
This is a paradigm shift, this is a wave, this is spiritual BEYOND MEASURE.
This is all we need - "love love love - oooh, it's easy!"
The only real Love, that Is. Agape.
This has NOTHING to do with Obama, but we couldn't have got Right Here, Right Now, without him! So it also, of course, has EVERYTHING to do with him! God BLESS AMERICA! GOD BLESS PURE INTENTION, FOCUS AND CALM INTELLIGENT RESOLVE WITHOUT EGO!
GOD BLESS THE COLLECTIVE WE!
I went to sleep last night literally feeling my body bathed in the Light of the World. I could literally See bright light as my eyes closed, and I felt it wrapped all around me like a blanket of GOOD WILL... So thankful for the beautiful souls I shared the eve with in the hills. Looks like we've made it! And looks like we're going to! Full circle to my generation's living myth - infused in our childhood all the ethos of the civil rights movement, so lost in the greed and corruption of the 80s yuppiedome... alas God almighty we are free at last!
Why Portland is So Great!
Thanks Ben! You are soo right! I love you Portland!
What a Moment! - The Nation's Newspapers!
Maya Angelo and an incredible video with a great appearance of Maya Angelo on CBS's "The Early Show" this morning! AWESOME!
Ending with her great poem 'I Rise:'
'You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lies, you may trod me in the very dirt but still, like dust, I'll rise. Out of the huts of history's shame I rise up from a past rooted in pain I rise. I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise into daybreak miraculously clear I rise. Bringing the hopes that my ancestors gave, I am the hope and the dream of the slave.' And so, Harry Smith, we all rise.
Amen Brother's and Sisters.
Amen! More >
