Theories, even if they are accurate and true, are flimsy things unless they have deep and transformative policies, at which time they may become new paradigms. Paradigms are THE truth, the OVER RIDING truth expressed by theory.

P:  A simple multiple regression with total private debt, the first derivative of private debt(credit), and the second derivative of private debt(credit impulse), is well over R squared of 93% over at least the past three decades. This is large but not spurious. By far the largest contribution is that of credit.

NR: May I humbly suggest that you have just uttered a tautology. Hardly a rarity anywhere. But you have inadvertently chosen statistical “newspeak” as a mode of expression.Please consult George Orwell’s 1984. Try thinking about it a bit.

GOOGLE: {1}Norman L. Roth {2} Norman L. Roth, Technological Time {3} Norman L. Roth, Economics of Work. I also suggest you introduce yourself to a subject called ‘Epistemology’ .

It could prove very practical in your case .Also, Lars Syll is quite well versed in that subject as well as in the limits of Statistical methodology, and the temptations to fallacy contained therein. May I also suggest that you try John Maynard Keynes; A TREATISE on PROBABILITY,1921. Not to mention Frank Knight’s contribution written about the same time.

Me: Tautologies are a hint, as knowledge can only be perceived by a knower….no matter to whom or to what one attributes such.

Also, telos and technos being another duality to derive an aspect of the natural philosophical concept and/or experience of grace/consciousness, in this case process, you should be affirming what I post here.

“…..why do you kick against the goads?”

P:  My point was, Paul Krugman still teaches Loanable Funds, the predicate assumption of which is that private debt does not affect any important macroeconomic outputs. This despite the fact that total private debt and its derivatives account for something like 98% of the variance in unemployment plus simple trigger criteria based on total private debt predicts financial crisis reliably. The claim that no model reliably produces a high correlation that is not spurious is false. Macroeconomics simply made one wrong turn; ignoring private debt per loanable funds.
Steve Keen and Michael Hudson are leading the way on this too. I’m glad to learn someone is bothering to read my posts here. I was starting to wonder. Thank you.

Me: Yes, their insights (Keen’s and Hudson’s) are valid re-discoveries of the fact that modern technologically advanced economies are INHERENTLY cost inflationary primarily due to the ever increasing depreciation costs of its technology, its own fixed capital and the removal of money from one cycle of production to another via re-investment or retained earnings.

Douglas and his followers made the mistake of falling into the spell of DSGE by only trying to “fill the gap” instead of inverting individual monetary scarcity into abundance with the paradigm changing policies of Wisdomics-Gracenomics. Keen wants
a one-off “modern debt jubilee” which also still has the stench of DSGE hanging around it despite his vehement critique of it, and Hudson’s financial parasitism correctly identifies which paradigm must be changed but doesn’t have a comprehensive policy plan to accomplish it. Finally, they’re all so addicted to abstraction that they seemingly can’t come into present time to spot the triple power point for policy of retail sale.

DT:  Another Copernican revolution is needed to get the meaning right way up again.

Me:  Although they’ll fight it to the death also, (paradigms must not become conscious you know) the banks can countenance a citizen’s income so long as it doesn’t transform the scarcity ratio of total actually available individual incomes to total costs and so total prices. That’s one of the reasons a discount/rebate monetary policy at retail sale is so essential because it inverts the scarcity ratio reality via price.

Quantum physics is an expression of consciousness, and the temporal universe and our experience of it is simply a lot more space, time and some randomness tossed in for us to experience and, for the sake of purpose, to puzzle over and enjoy.

25% discount/rebate for everyday consumer items and services (making the $1500/mo dividend capable of purchasing approximately $2000/mo) + whatever may be determined to be the monthly inflation rate despite new policy cost savings, tax incentives and discouragements. Also, non-retail businesses may utilize discount in its retail consumer purchases but should pass on those cost savings in its final products…unless of course it doesn’t mind losing market share due to price competition.

$1500/mo. universal dividend with 25% discount/rebate policy = $48,000/yr guarantee for a two adult household. Therefore two adult household income with dividend and two $25,000/yr jobs = $66,650 + $48,000 = $114,650 potential purchasing power/yr.

50% discount/rebate at both retail sale and at note signing for homes, autos, furniture, green related purchases etc.

Private money creation ends, non-profit 0% interest national banking system and central monetary authority begin

Same taxation and regulation policies as before

Create Department of Innovation and Competition

….you can only enable it or create it.  Therefore, the idea that Wisdomics-Gracenomics is utopian is false. A utopia is an hierarchically imposed one size fits all “solution”. Wisdomics-Gracenomics enables and creates the possibility for individuals and commercial agents….to create their own ideal scene/utopia.  It’s an important distinction to realize.

Macro-economics is a very recent body of knowledge born into a 5000 year old monetary and financial paradigm….that it swallowed whole. Hence it has fallen into both obsessive orthodoxy and iconoclasm which is the perfect prescription for obsessive theoretical contention and confusion leading eventually to systemic collapse and political and social disintegration.

Discover the new paradigm and theorizing is a straight forward rational, policy and philosophical process.

Of course not, because power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely and a herd of elite financial insitutions can never be effectively regulated.

It takes a new monetary, financial and economic paradigm of Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting to break up and replace finance’s monopolistic paradigm of Debt Only for the sole form and vehicle for new money creation and distribution, and to bring sanity and humanity to modern economies.

If industries like insurance, real estate and stock and commodities exchanges do not want to abide by the economic virtues of thrift and competition, then I’m sure new start ups in those parts of the economy will force them to do so.

A society and its systems that truly serve mankind as created by the philosophy and policies of Wisdomics-Gracenomics is obviously superior to one that instead makes mankind slavishly serve those systems via domination and manipulation. Combine that with the fact that such a system actually reduces commercial agent’s costs and vastly increases the ability for consumers to purchase their goods and services, and how can any enterprise claim the “right” to destabilize that system out of sheer greed?

Little sermonette, if you will allow me.

Graciousness disarms all but the most corrupt or crazed individuals, being love expressed it is the highest and most effective ethic one can aspire to, and practiced long enough becomes authentic, powerful and personally protective as well so it is actually the most positive, rational and intelligent path forward.

And this is my wish for you: that you be gracious toward each other. Graciousness edifies and frees. Let graciousness be your guide.

There is no escaping adventure or misadventure, joy or drudgery in Life. The only way is to embrace them both by self actualizing the integrative aspects of the natural philosophical concept and experience of grace.

The beatific chains of wisdom’s pinnacle ethic paradoxically sets one free.
