You want positive progressive change? Think conceptually. Why? Because paradigms are concepts, furthermore APPLIED NEW concepts. Keen is a fantastic systemic analyst…but he fails to analyze conceptually despite throwing the words paradigm change around occasionally. New paradigms always perceive/frame the key outness of the present anomalous paradigm. Keen has the build up of private debt correctly identified as a problem, but that doesn’t enlighten completely. The key problem is the concept behind the creation and distribution of all new money, namely Debt ONLY. In other words new money can only be created as debt so Debt ONLY is not only the present problematic monetary paradigm its also a monopoly paradigm. Its exactly analogous to the Roman Catholic’s monopoly paradigm of Salvation via Roman Catholic Sacraments ONLY.

Now, the short course in Paradigmology consists of the following historically verifiable facts: 1) New paradigms are always in complete conceptual opposition to the present paradigm (examples: nomadic, tribal hunting and gathering to homesteading, urbanization and agriculture, also geo-centrism to helio-centrism which 2) also dramatizes a signature of paradigm changes which is complete inversion of temporal universe problematic realities 3) the beneficial effects of every new paradigm have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace like abundance, increased survivability, new/increased awareness, integration/synthesis/unity of opposites to the point of a thirdness greater oneness of a (seemingly) problematic/unresolvable duality, so a trinitarian mindset. Strategic Monetary Gifting is conceptually in complete opposition to Debt ONLY, a policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale inverts the present biggest problem of chronic inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation and grace as in Gifting check all of those boxes.
