The way to overcome resistance to a JG, BIG or citizen’s dividend is simply brush past any objections to them and implement it….probably best by marketing it to women who because part of them becomes another person tends to be a little more anchored to the temporal universe than men and so somewhat less prone to abstractionism. How long do you think even the most dedicated libertarian, conservative, tory arm chair theorist will refuse a citizen’s dividend? As long as they can resist their wives calling them idiots…and until (quickly) they see that everyone else is accepting it. Yes you’ll always have the occasional “iron maiden” like Margaret Thatcher, but in the temporal universe and so long as you have a body, a satisfactory if not abundant income will always trump austerity…even in the most “principled” as in deluded and macro-economically non-comprehending theorist.

The economy is in a chronic and continual state of disequilibrium and has a lot of moving parts, but if your macro-economic monetary policies pervade and bracket the entirety of the economy with the component parts of an equilibrium and at the correct place in the productive process like a citizen’s dividend and a rebated retail discount do then you’ll be able to effect an equilibrium. And an equilibrium that does not have to rigidly adhere to some orthodoxy about equilibrium itself either, but which in fact is fluid and malleable, and enables a proactive “push” toward both the dynamic tendencies of profit making systems and a generally shared abundance that technology and now AI have been trying to create…despite the regressive nature of the business model of Finance .
