C. H. Douglas’ compensated retail discount policy was way ahead of its time, but he never envisioned and I myself didn’t immediately see that my 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale was both synchronicitous and serendipitous at the same time.
It was synchronicitous because it was implemented at the terminal expression point of inflation and with the policy having a very high percentage was able to transform chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation thus its “turning of the tables” effect enabled it to invalidate The Quantity Theory of Money.
The serendipidous aspect of the policy is that its gifting of price and so purchasing power not only created tremendous individual economic benefits and systemic economic problem resolving effects, but also evoked social happiness and relief and even more importantly the greatest opportunity to self actualize gratitude for a gift since meditation and prayer. In other words a change in the monetary paradigm surprisingly resolved problems in present social psychology and spirituality.
