Essentially it doesn’t even matter how much “the Gap” is. With a sufficient Dividend and price deflationary Discount percentage we could all be economically free and getting wealthier every month because the dual macro-economic policies of the Dividend and Discount monetarily pervade, encompass, bracket and maintain a flow of the economy, all while fitting seamlessly within a profit making system, downsizing the Banking and financial systems to still profitable but non-dominating status and hard charging the vector toward money as a ticketing system for the distribution of production….exactly like technology and now artificial intelligence are meant to enable. Enterprise will adapt to security and stability much more easily than to austerity and its dominance, and people will have have much more of an investment in keeping such a system just, and so regulation and ethics will undoubtedly be better enforced. Oh, and as savings is not really a problem because the individual has self determined control of them while they do not have such control over debt who cares how much they save? And finally, people will be much more open to and rational about modulating their consumption when they are securely free and un-coerced which would undoubtedly make actual ecological balance much more likely than if all people can do is despairingly dream of more and the system is hooked on growth.
Monetary grace the free gift, the new economic paradigm. Open your eyes and let yourself see it. Freedom is contagious and takes better care of itself and others than fear, doubt or obsessive control.
