Great topic and podcast. What if we could make participating in the economy the greatest opportunity to self actualize gratitude since meditation and prayer? How? Implement a policy of a 50% Discount/Gift of price at retail sale/Rebate of 100% of that discount back to the merchant granting it to the consumer by the central bank (equal debits and credits that sum to zero is how fiat money is created) so the merchant gets their full price and hence no moral hazard. This policy also happens to turn chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation, doubles the purchasing power of EVERY individual (because retail sale is universally participated in and hence enlightens the realization that it is the single aggregative as in macro-economic point in the entire economic process and hence you don’t even have to do all of the calculus that makes everyone’s eyes glaze over in order to understand it…thank you non-Nobel prize committee in economics). Again however its most positive effect is the first one which enables and integrates humanity’s highest spiritual concept and experience into economics and the money system, i.e. grace as in gratitude for a gift.

Talk about heavily meditated. Who’da thunk that “bean counting”/accounting and economics might be the turned into the fasted route to that excellent goal?
