So long as the BIG/Dividend is not financed by taxes and a
discount accompanies it (except for the rapidity of transformation to the economy of having a large deflationary discount) I don’t really care if the dividend is a smallish $400-500/mo. The immediate stable upturn of the economy combined with the increasing loss of aggregate incomes due to AI will awaken everyone to its necessity. That plus you get people accustomed to a dividend and regressive forces will never reverse it. Look at the incomplete reform of Social Security. They’ve been trying to eliminate it for 80 years to no avail.

But again, the implementation of the combined policies of dividend and discount is essential. The idea that businesses seeing a steady stream of additional demand coming will not arbitrarily raise their prices, if not immediately then soon thereafter, is sheer Keynesian half assed policy kant and will lead to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It’s like saying that just implementing a public banking system without a sovereign authority guided by policy mandates reflecting Grace will solve the problem. Of course it won’t. The ethical force/bulwark of the concept and policies of Grace are essential to avoiding corruption and the return of control to private finance.
