Systemic/Scientific/Reductive analysis is all well and good and Dr. Keen’s use of these is excellent. However, doing so doesn’t penetrate to the deepest and most powerful level which is the conceptual/paradigmatic level. As Einstein said: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler”. Well, we know that paradigms are single concepts that create new mental and temporal universe realities. THATS SIMPLE, POWERFUL, DEEP AND PERMANENT CHANGE…unlike systemic analysis alone which without recognizing the current paradigm and implementing the new core and operant concept will never achieve more than palliative reforms or worse yet get morphed into something like delusive neo-classical economic theory.

To analyze paradigmatically you have to get past some mental hurdles like acculturative unconsciousness, the egoistic tendency to frame everything as a duality only IOW only morally right and wrong instead of ethically…since ethics are the rational consideration of morals…and thinking with the mindset of trinity/thirdness greater oneness because Wisdom/the mindset of integrating opposites in order to find solutions to apparently unresolvable dualities…has always been associated with “the third way”. Finally, you have to get inside of the primary new paradigm concept itself and look for additional reinforcing aspects of it that will stabilize and increase its reality and workability. Kepler’s discovery of elliptical orbits instead of perfect circles was what really made helio-centrism more accurate than geo-centrism for instance. Viz the new monetary and economic paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting which ends the current monopoly paradigm of Debt Only as the sole form and vehicle for the creation and distribution of all new money, this would be looking at the additional monopoly paradigm of The Consumer Alone Must Be The ONLY Agent To Pay Full Price. Break that monopoly up by having the government or central bank pay for 50% of the price of everything at retail sale with new MONEY instead by Debt ONLY…and you transform chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation, double everyone’s purchasing power…and make debt jubilee continual instead of a one off that doesn’t actually solve the Debt ONLY paradigm because it leaves the private banks in control of it.
