1. new money is created with equal debits and credits that sum to zero as MMT, Steve Keen, Michael Hudson, Ellen Brown, Ann Pettifor etc. etc. say it is
2. more money without known and enforceable barriers, i.e. chaos, will result in increased inflation, then
3. why don’t all of those in #1 above realize that a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at regular consumer and financial retail sale is the missing link policy action that resolves the deepest and most resistant problems of modern economies, supercharges their philosophically aligned policies of UBI, job guarantee and running government deficits and basically effects a new monetary and economic paradigm with that single policy, and not even mentioning the serendipitously beneficial effect of it being greatest opportunity for EVERYONE to self actualize gratitude for a gift since meditation and prayer???

The answer is the unconsciousness created by long term acculturation of the present paradigm, unwillingness to become comfortable with ambiguity which is the signature of addiction to orthodoxy and failure to analyze historical paradigm changes conceptually/philosophically/paradigmatically and hence realize that the beneficial effects of every historical paradigm change have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace…as in gifting for instance in this case.

Finally, as the aspects of grace are the operant factor and effect of every paradigm change, then that means that effecting paradigm change can become “plug and play” because all you have to do is find the relevant aspect of grace and how to most efficaciously apply it in the temporal universe…and voila! the greatest and most long effecting, progressive and historical human phenomenon is a straight forward intellectual process.
