Monetary Grace
The monopolistic reign of the idea, the paradigm of Debt has ended! It has been balanced by the only idea, the only paradigm of equal power to it, monetary grace the free gift.
No more equivocating with dominating and enslaving Finance and its paradigm of Debt ONLY when it comes to consumption. I declare the individual freedom and the systemic free flowingness that a policy of grace, of gifting will bring into being, and that will raise the emotional tone of individuals everywhere from the exhaustion of apathy and the oppression of hopelessness up to Faith in the future and hope for both their children and in their economies.
Let us be done with forever fighting over the particle of truth and untruth in the various un-integrated theories, the wrong why of socialism, the false empowerment of Austrianism, the half measures and incompleteness of Keynesianism, and the seemingly suave and sophisticated unrealities, the covert manipulations and the oppressive dominations of Finance Capitalism. No more! No longer!
We demand monetary grace the free gift be the freeing and transforming idea and policy it by definition is and has always been. Grace as economic policy penetrates to the level of the individual and strikes at the heart of power. Grace’s power is real, it exists, it has already won the struggle against the ideas of power and control….because Grace ascends instead of suffocatingly oppresses, frees instead of enslaves, inspires instead of belittles!
We need to end the monopoly powers of Finance, and no, we can’t just talk about it or ignore it for another 20 years, or, even as noble and necessary an idea as education is, try to teach 10 different theories which aren’t completely integrated with each other and even if they were would probably still miss the most basic and urgent thing that needs to be changed….the balancing of the paradigm of Debt with a paradigm of equal strength, monetary grace the free gift.
Long economic downturns rhyme very, very strongly with chaos and warfare and we now live in an age of modern weaponry where no individual and no one’s sons and daughters are safe, and where no one’s productive capacity is safe from destruction either. That makes monetary grace/graciousness utterly important to keep in mind.
Now I’m not here to destroy or end Finance, only to bring it, that is its product of Debt, and the rules of cost accounting into alignment with and balance by the concept of Grace the free gift, …only to declare their necessary transformation…so that the Banks and the financial system, the rest of the economy, the nation and the entirety of western civilization…can begin to evolve again instead of being chained to an unworkable economic and monetary system…begin to breath the breath of hope again, begin to ascend to the heights it has in the past aspired to again. So be it! So be it! You see we have tremendous ability to produce. Production is not the modern economy’s problem…its distribution that is the major problem. So how and why is distribution the problem it is for an economy capable of abundance for all? And how would monetary grace the free gift of income solve that problem?
Well you see there is a little flaw in the rules of cost accounting that forces the normal operation of the economy to be unstable, That rule is: All costs must go into price. This despite the fact that all costs as a flow exceed actually available to spend labor costs/individual incomes simultaneously created as a flow. This convention of cost accounting together with the monopoly power of Finance which will not countenance monetary grace as a competing and balancing form of monetary distribution to their dominating means of making profit, that is debt, enforces mere economics and destabilization on a human system and the humans inhabiting it. But monetary grace, gifting as an idea and a policy penetrates the system all the way to the individual and so sets both the system and the individual economically free…as less complete theories only dream of doing. And then, as the system over time will still tend to destabilize by its normal operation….so you have to equalize costs/prices and individual incomes…by periodically lowering retail prices….which is the maintaining minus side of the equilibrium that the plus side of the universal dividend form of monetary grace the free gift enabled equilibrium…and not coincidentally guaranteed the economic freedom of the individual. Grace applied you see rounds everything up, fully encompasses and completes economic policy and aligns life and living with the joyousness of freedom and abundance…both of which are in reality aspects of Grace itself.
Now there are some here who will say, “We already have too much money in the system, how can adding even more be the solution?” These people forget that the system is digital and creditary, Debt is extinguished in the economy by individual income matching it. In other words -$5 in debt that cannot be paid back is extinguished by a gift of +$5 in individual income. Now if the system itself due to numerous processes, certain business needs and excessive tendencies actually brought on by the inherent instability of the system as it is now constructed forces debt to accumulate….how is giving the individual a supplementary income not the solution to that problem? Simply adding to the debt of the individual does not work because, it going into the system, creates the scarcity of individual income in ratio to total costs and hence prices, that must be liquidated if the system is to be free and free flowing. So integrating monetary grace the free gift into the system is not only possible it is altogether necessary!
Conceptually, monetary grace the free gift is in tune with the cosmos and God, however you may conceive him, because it enables and increases individual faith and hope…and makes the economy actually flow like the above lesser theories can only dream of or pretend to do. The arc of history and the intention of the cosmos are irresistible forces and Grace is of them and of their thrust. Evolution toward more organic complexity and more self awareness are demonstrable. We dare not go against those trends by clinging to homo economicus. We are homo sapiens, wise and discerning man, and the pinnacle of Wisdom is Grace and graciousness. We must live up to our species designation and the universal, the personal and systemic solvent of Grace and graciousness!
And what of ecology and a finite planet? Yes, yes, of course we need to integrate these realities into our economies. But how do you unleash innovation so that more can be done with less and the individual does not have to worry about being unemployed by that innovation? Well, part of that is not having to be thwarted by continual destabilization and a false austerity that often prevents us from thoroughly researching such innovation because “we can’t afford it”, and the other part is monetary grace the free gift as systemic policy which enables the individual to thrive despite the effects of innovation on employment. And a third part of it is integrating a philosophy, an ethic of both abundance and a balancing sense of enoughness. Inner balance…a satisfied and satisfying sense of self restraint that rationally informs one’s entire life and lifestyle. This is a true ecological and economic perspective, a dynamic interaction of opposites and of concepts reflecting Grace as in balance. In an economy based on the balancing concept and ethic of Grace we should not, we will not aspire to everyone having 3 boats and 5 jet skis, 50 pin striped suits and a hundred pairs of shoes, but rather by everyone having and being content with a relative but actual abundance and where we are concerned more with well beingness as the goal, as opposed to excess, and where the stress of economic servitude is replaced by the freedom to pursue self determined goals whether that be a career or a positive life purpose and a career as well. The fuller life is more of such integrated living. Why? Because Wisdom is the integrative process itself…and the height of Wisdom is Grace….in all things inward and outward, personal and systemic. Grace is all about creating freedom, being free and maintaining that freedom into the future
Let us join together in the pursuit of monetary grace, and in the persistent and dedicated demand for Grace both as inner guide and outward policy to be implemented by our political leaders on all levels. We must seize upon Wisdom and the firm but gentle power of Grace for the sake of ourselves, our nation and of civilization! Graciousness! The best guide for personal development, and grace the free gift to individuals the systemic economic policy that will finally balance the oppressiveness of Debt that has burdened us for so long! Imagine it! Make its actual and existing reality more real in your own minds and in the economy! Yes to freedom for the individual and freedom for the system! So let us rise up, join hands and move toward the joyous sound of that freedom and that truth!!! Then, to paraphrase the old negro spiritual we and our children will be “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty and Grace the free gift, we will be free at last!!!
