Caps are meant for emphasis not shouting.
Social Credit was an interesting and VERY POPULAR WORLD WIDE MOVEMENT back between the world wars, but its policy of a compensated retail discount was only meant to be a smallish percentage to counter inflation and so it would have been gamed by commercial agents practicing greedflation and so its economic effects nullified. Thats because Douglas although a very clear minded individual still remained within the economic mental horizon of General Equillibrium and “free” market theoretics plus Social Credit existed before the entire subject of paradigms had been analyzed. Thus it was just a very good palliative, but not a paradigm change which is all the difference in the world.
A large/50% Discount/Rebate policy flips the mental and temporal universe reality (a classic signature of paradigm changes) from chronic erosive systemic inflation to BENEFICIAL INDIVIDUAL deflation, invalidates the orthodoxy of The Quantity Theory of Money, supercharges the individual’s economic and monetary benefits and punishes/eliminates the temptation of greedflation because if a commercial agent raises their prices by say 10-20% how much market share is that anti-social CEO going to lose to the one who doesn’t inflate or even competes by lowering their prices to show the consumer that they actually have good will toward their consumers which is the most valuable commodity a business can possess. In my book I also suggest additional policies that solidify the new paradigm’s effects.
Yes, cynicism is the intellectual disease of modernity, but the key to changing that is to DIRECTLY broadcast the INDIVIDUAL benefits over the systemic ones which is also a signature of SUCCESSFUL historical paradigm changes and enables Victor Hugo’s correct observation that “the one thing all of the armies of the world cannot resist is an idea whose time has come.” Its time to change the 8000 year old monetary paradigm of Debt ONLY.
