No one. No economist, not even C. H. Douglas, has looked closely enough at the costing and pricing system of commerce to perceive that each stopping and summing point throughout its entire process is the strategic and correct place to implement the discount policy and so saturate the entire economy with Monetary Grace as in Gifting. This insight and its effect is what is necessary to integrate micro and macro-economics and end the dominance of the business model of Finance and its equally dominating paradigms of Debt and Loan ONLY.
This alone probably merits a Nobel Prize in economics.
I came to these insights from my study of various Wisdom traditions and their insight that the temporal universe (and the economy as it is entirely embedded within that universe) always follows the trinitarian process of Start, Change and Stop. As the costing/pricing and money systems are all digital it follows that subtracting/discounting costs, prices and money at each of the stopping points along that process and then reciprocally rebating the same amounts back was a gracious and unobtrusive way to benefit both the individual and enterprise and simultaneously free them from the oppressive domination of Finance and its enforced paradigms of Debt and Loan ONLY.
This is one of the reasons I call my theory Wisdomics-Gracenomics. It is Wisdom and Wisdom’s pinnacle concept applied to the economic system.
Likewise I realized that both paradigm changes and religious conversions have always been both complete transformations of problematic conditions and inversions of primary realities. Consequently the solution to a scarcity ratio of total individual incomes to total costs/prices is the inversion of that ratio, that is, it must become an abundance of total individual incomes in ratio to total costs/prices via the dual policies of a relatively abundant universal dividend and discount to each enterprise’s “retail product”. This accomplishes the transformation from an oppressive and inherently and increasingly balky economic system to an individually freeing and entirely free flowing one….because monetarily the abundant aspect of both policies in combination interpenetrates, encompasses and endures the entirety of the economic process of Start, Change and Stop….and re-start as well. And thus economic theory shakes off the final vestiges of the old paradigms of scarcity, obsessive equilibrium (in favor of a more accurate, scientific and ethical “higher disequilibrium ratio” as per above) as well as the aforementioned paradigms of Debt and Loan ONLY.
Note that abundance, freedom, freeing, free flow, flowingness as in continuous process, transformation, inversion/conversion, integration of opposites, continuous integrating and completeness are all aspects of the concept and/or psychological experience of Grace….and they are also many of the goals of classical economic theory.
Note also that Grace is the western equivalent of eastern concepts like satori, atman, etc. all of which are pointing at the experience of self awareness-consciousness itself and you will see why I included Gracenomics in the name of the theory, and that integrating the concept of Grace into economic theory is in fact also the equivalent to bringing full consciousness to it.
Finally, note that the world’s various Wisdom traditions utilize a combination of inner and outer focus so as to “remember” one’s self, one’s self awareness-consciousness and that macro-economics is analogous to inward meditation and micro-economics is analogous to outer (zen-like) meditation. Then realize these things: that Wisdomics-Gracenomics brings the concept of Grace to economics, that the integration of bothness-twoness-opposites as in duality is the very process of Wisdom itself, and that simultaneously Grace as the pinnacle concept of Wisdom is bothness-andness as in trinity-unity-oneness-consciousness-flow-process as in continuous Starting, Changing and Stopping.
And this is why Wisdomics-Gracenomics, not DSGE, is the true neo-classical synthesis.
