I’ve been a student of virtually all of the leading economic and monetary reformers since the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. Guys like Steve Keen, Michael Hudson, Warren Mosler and MMTers, Ellen Brown etc. They’ve all done excellent and accurate work. Their only problem is they’ve never fully “upped their game” to the conceptual/paradigmatic level of analysis. And so far as I have seen nobody but little ‘ole me has done that. They’re all systems analysts, which is fine, but the ideas/concepts/paradigms behind the systems which enforce systemic realities are the real power, and correctly changing those ideas will enable the integration and better accomplishment of all of the intentions of the above excellent reforms because a paradigm change, like every paradigm change has historically done, is a change in the nature and workability of the ENTIRE patterns under analysis…not just separate palliative reforms. What we desparately need is what R. Buckminster Fuller said, that is we need to become systems philosophers.

My ever evolving book Wisdomics-Gracenomics: The New Monetary Paradigm and Its Policies presents an entire policy program for such analysis and change.
