What we need is policy engineers, specifically monetary policy engineers. Instead of using the blunt instrument of manipulating interest rates in order to fail at controlling inflation and frustrating both the individual and every business model, why not 1) implement a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale which 2) immediately doubles everyone’s purchasing power 3) also doubles the potential demand for virtually every enterprise’s goods and services and 4) transforms chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation. That single policy might encourage the body of the oligarchy (the productive business model elites) to revolt against the head of the oligarchy (Finance), in other words the revolt of the bourgeisie that Marxism failed to accomplish because it created no separation of the self interests of merchants and the banks.
I’ve rebutted the hyperinflation, excess consumption, ecological/energy objections here before with innovative monetary and economic policies utilizing accounting operations and common sense taxation carrots and sticks throughout the entire economic process.

Universal mathematical hope and prosperity beats hell out of and better empowers excoriating economic elites, and transforms cynical self stopping into action for “an idea whose time has come”.
