The Beginning Postulates of A New Economic Philosophy and Paradigm

Let’s face it most economists aren’t too good at avoiding terminal orthodoxy, and the best are good with the Math and de-bunking current orthodoxy, but when it comes to crafting a new philosophy and ethics which they themselves call for….they’re better off leaving it to someone who largely agrees with the latter about economics and has the proclivity for and study of  philosophy.

What philosophy allows a single business model free sway to dominate and manipulate every other business model and everyone in their separate national economies?  A completely blind, biased and/or stupid one is the short answer.

An inclusive philosophy would allow Finance to still exist and profit, but would demand that it first be de-throned, de-toothed and forever neutered, and so compel it to take its correct and smaller place alongside every other business model. Then, rather than the state “withering away” which is a bit like lobotomizing the entire systemic philosophical project, instead, Finance, the truly problematic part of the economy would do the withering.  That basic ethical observation along with the most basic concept upon which that new philosophy would be based which is traditionally a spiritual one but that in fact is also an entirely natural and philosophical one without losing any of its transformative powers, should be the first postulations of any new economic philosophy.

Gracious and Merciful, but Wise and sovereign control that protects and considers the individual first, last and always and does the same to encourage stable free flowingness for the system with policies that include every business model but advantage none. That is the place to start and remain logically consistent with.
