Economic and monetary instability caused by the inherently cost inflationary nature of commerce under the current conventions of cost accounting necessarily forces nations to compete for incomes from other nations pitting them against each other in trade wars, and also tempting the stronger nations to do so by force, i.e. war. The business model of finance has always been there to provide the funds for such wars as their unchallenged monopolistic product being debt and the incredible increase in costs and waste of war was then made even more  “necessary”.

If we had instead integrated monetary grace/monetary gifting into the economies of the world as C. D. Douglas’ Social Credit proposed virtual national equilibrium would have been possible, the fruits of our incredible heritage of productive capabilities could have been much more equitably distributed and the wars both hot and cold that characterized the remainder of the century, and that still plague us today…in all likelihood never would have occurred.
