So far as Keen’s assumption that trade balance would be a problem, with a universal dividend sufficient to guarantee a near middle class income whether one worked a lick or not, unemployment and domestic demand are no longer a problem and a nation could re-industrialize in as efficient, productive and environmentally sane fashion as possible thus relying much less on imports. Then, if one implemented a retail discount policy where participating merchants gave say a 40% discount to consumers and then the monetary authority rebated the totality of those discounts back to the merchants inflation would not only not be a problem, but deflation that fit seamlessly within profit making systems would be the result. These two policies together would also tend to downsize the problematic business model of Finance which David Graeber and others have so well documented.
