The problematic glue that holds the current system together is power much more so than even profit. Because taxation/re-distribution does not resolve an inherent macro-economic tendency toward scarcity of individual income, and because forcing the basic and legitimate intention of businesses to profit to cooperate in making its already difficult ability to do so because of the inherent scarcity of individual income will naturally prevent the cooperation that will enable the integration that creates a third and much more unified system…socialism is hence not the solution. Of course, oligopolistic and dominating global corporatism is not legitimate, but rather a reactionary force born of greed and the necessity to become big in order to survive that the above basic scarcity holds in force.
As the concept of Grace is a more satisfying integration of two separatenesses to the point of simultaneous thirdness and oneness-completeness and major aspects of Grace are Gifting, Giving back as in the taking of power in order to give it back to the individual and Transformation-Ethical Redemption as in a true and conscious inner change AND REFLECTIVE OUTER CHANGE OF POLICY…..Grace is the necessary new economic and monetary paradigm required for the resolution of our current crisis.
Does this mean that Sunday School was right all along? Well yes and no. Yes in that philosophy is always the place to start if you want to have and maintain intellectual honesty and clarity, and no if you want to be ONLY an exclusionary pre-scientific religionist about it.
So be smart enough and conscientious enough to fully flesh out the necessary concept, and don’t fall into dualistic religiosity….or cynical, stupid and all too modern reaction against the same.
