Combine a 50% discount/rebate policy at retail sale and a $1000/mo. universal dividend for everyone 18 years of age and older and the guaranteed $2000/mo. in purchasing power will be more than most retirees get in social security…for your entire adult life instead of having to work for 45-50 years before being eligible like now. Add in the benefits of these two policies doubling the purchasing power of every working person’s earnings, ending inflation forever and being able to eliminate the payroll taxes every employed person pays for welfare, unemployment insurance and social security, and that additional 10-12% increase in pay will also be doubled. It’s all upside for everyone including every business enterprise which benefits by the amount of available money for their goods and services also doubling and their taxes being lowered too.

Use a taxation incentive of reducing personal and corporate income taxes if a corporation does not inflate, and the taxation disincentive of taxing any revenue garnered from increasing prices at the rate of 100%. Of course part of the agreement for retailers in opting in to the 50% discount/rebate policy would be that they agree to a forensic examination of their books every month, but the above incentives and disincentives would help to regulate the new economic paradigm of price deflation for all commercial agents.

In order to save democracy we’re going to have to establish the integrative and unifying power of the natural philosophical concept of grace. Stay with me here, I’m not an orthodox religious person in any sense. I’m all for wisdom though, and grace/graciousness as in love in action is the pinnacle concept of human wisdom. And the concept and application of an aspect of grace has always been what has lead to permanent as in paradigmatic change.

The media and our politics need to change in the ways that all of you have insightfully posted here, and those suggestions need to be pursued concurrently with the monetary and economic policies I’m suggesting.

The current paradigm for the creation and distribution of money is Debt Only. That is, it is a monopoly concept, and monopolies by definition are dominating and anti-freedom. If we integrated a new monetary paradigm of grace/graciousness as in Monetary Gifting into the debt based system with two policies…all manner of positive, integrative and unifying effects would be possible.

The first policy of the new monetary paradigm is a 50% Discount/Rebate at the point of retail sale. In other words every product and service in the economy is discounted 50%, and then the entirety of that discount is mandated to be rebated back to the merchant granting it to the consumer by the monetary authority so that the merchant can be made whole on their overheads and profit margins.

This would immediately double both everyone’s purchasing power and potentially double the free and available demand for every enterprise’s consumer goods and services. (Stay with me here, this doesn’t necessarily equate with a doubling of consumption…but it does integrate the economic interests and political agendas of the traditionally opposed constituencies of labor and management. Remember, integration and unification are aspects of the philosophical concept of grace.)

This single policy would also forever end any possibility of systemic inflation as garden variety inflation is almost always a low single digit percentage. How? By integrating BENEFICIAL price and asset DEFLATION. Guess what? Inversion of temporal universe reality is one of the cardinal signatures of paradigm change. For instance, the Copernican cosmological paradigm change was no more and certainly nothing less than the realization that the inversion of the positions of the earth and the sun resolved anomalies that had plagued astronomy for centuries.

Now if you ended the possibility of inflation forever…you could forever end the political debate about fiscal deficits being inflationary. That would open the way to vastly increasing government spending for infrastructure and the kind of mega projects necessary to confront climate change.

The second policy of the new monetary paradigm is a $1000/mo. universal dividend paid to everyone 18 years of age and older. Combined with the 50% discount that would guarantee every adult $2000/mo. of purchasing power…for life. If every adult was guaranteed $2000/mo. the payroll taxes every working person and every enterprise pays for welfare, unemployment insurance and even for social security immediately become redundant and are hence could be eliminated. $2000/mo. is higher than the vast majority of individuals get for social security, and you don’t even have to work for 45-50 years to get it! And again, this policy integrates the normally opposed economic interests of labor and management.

There are numerous other philosophically aligned policies like the above two that would solidify the new monetary, financial and economic paradigm of Gifting, and would also help consciously build self awareness of grace/graciousness that is also the deepest need and remedy of our faltering democracy. Just imagine if you felt grateful for a government that gifted you half of the price of everything every time you bought something?

Cryptocurrencies are energy impossible and unsecured rabbit holes. Money and accounting are two of humanity’s greatest inventions and tools and there is no actual reason to reject them. The real problem is the monetary and financial paradigm which has always been alternatively monopolized by either the palace or the private banks. Make the money system serve humanity instead of humanity having to slavishly serve it by integating the new paradigm of Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting into the solely debt based system…and many additional benefits not the least of which could be human and planetary survival will follow on.

“Fiscal Keynesianism is still a policy in search of a theory.”

Yes. Because Keynesianism is an incomplete and once removed from the individual theory. Within all of the calculus it is better than neo-liberal macro which attempts to hide the dominance of finance by ignoring “money, (private) debt and banks”, but it doesn’t address the elephant in the room which is private finance’s monopolistic paradigm of Debt Only as the sole form and vehicle for the creation and distribution of money. And it hasn’t broken through the sound barrier as to how to best and most universally implement the new paradigm of Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting, which is precisely the way the banks do so now, that is, reciprocal accounting entries at both retail sale and at the point of loan signing.

It’s time we awoke to the new inversion of reality like we did with the Copernican cosmological paradigm change, and ended the Catholic church’s monopoly on the sacraments (albeit more peacefully) during The Reformation.

Please consider it. After all, the best way to reverse the anger, frustration and destruction of a disintegrative trend is to cognite on the ultimate integrative effects of applying the natural philosophical concept of grace as in love in action…in a universally participative system like economics.

Keen is my pick for the best economist on the planet. His work de-bunking DSGE is excellent and identifies the theory’s major problems.

His only problem? He talked about a new paradigm, but even though he pointed directly at the problems (money, private debt and banks) he didn’t recognize the current problematic paradigm, apparently doesn’t have a knowledge of the signatures of historical paradigm changes and so didn’t know how to formulate the new paradigm concept.

He even had another brush with cognition about the means of implementing that new paradigm when he correctly stated that economists could get their Phd.s in economics without so much as taking an elementary course in accounting.

So astute, so close, but close only counts in horse shoes, while new cognition is everything with paradigms.

What we need is a monetary Reformation. The present situation where private banks own a virtual monopoly paradigm to create our money ONLY AS DEBT is exactly analogous to the Catholic church owning a monopoly on the entrance to heaven only via THIER sacraments. Monopolies and even more powerfully, paradigmatic monopolies are anti-freedom. If we were to gift a 50% discount to consumers at retail sale all of which was rebated back to the merchant giving it to the consumer by the monetary authority we could immediately double everyone’s purchasing power and eliminate inflation at the same time. In fact (magically, if you are an orthodox economist) we would be beneficially integrating price and asset DE-flation into profit making economic systems…with that single policy. Temporal universe inversions of reality are a primary signature of historical paradigm changes.

A few decades from now when the human race is facing the fact that it is probably not going to survive because of climate change just how stupid are they going to feel when they passed on the one policy that would have enabled the greening of the economy necessary to avoid that fate?

My sincere sympathies. I don’t doubt his good intentions, but it is my observation that Austrians cannot think outside of the present monetary paradigm even if doing so would enable them to accomplish their highest goal of price and asset deflation. A clear sign that they are blinded by orthodoxy. And libertarians? Again their intentions are virtuous, but economically they believe in an idealized/fetishized idea of liberty/freedom/free markets instead of realizing that integrating monetary gifting into the economy would mimic and create an economy that operated like the gracefully dynamic and in fact unstoppable free flow of time and space…that they themselves desire.

And that is the natural philosophical concept behind every historical paradigm change.

And that concept is grace.

And grace by the way is also the next new zeitgeist, which the new monetary and financial paradigm of monetary grace as in Gifting will do more to enable as a reality than any other policy action/reality because zeitgeists are new mental/self actualized realities…and the repetitive and continuous nature of a gracious monetary gift at retail sale will do more to enable us to consciously realize the goodness, the gratitudiness, the problem solving practicality and the wisdom of the natural philosophical concept of grace/graciousness.

Just think about what the continuous experience of gratitude for a gift whenever you bought something, would be like…and could lead to.
