Congratulations, you’ve edged toward more permanent macro-economic solutions that approximate the ones I’ve been suggesting here for years.

The deepest problem in economics (and probably numerous other human systems as well) is the fact that the mindset regarding them sets up false dualisms that will not resolve and yet is paraded as “freedom” but is actually a chaotic and hence unstable framework that enables an oligarchic power to dominate that system and all other agents in it.

This characterizes “free” market theoretics perfectly where libertarian/austrian economists advocate for free markets (read TOTAL freedom) which religiously fetishizes the entire framework and prevents what is necessary to create actual human freedom which is the rational consideration of morals/dualisms/problems to the point of a trinitarian/integrative thirdness greater oneness also known as the superlative human intellectual discipline of Wisdom.

Now you can also fetishize Wisdom into “Wisdom” if you set up a dualism that will not resolve because your “Wisdom” is TOTALLY the right one instead of the one that best enables/creates integrative thirdness greater oneness which again is the mindset and intellectual process of Wisdom ITSELF…not just another dualism that people can egoistically argue over forever.

If we identify and apply the concept behind every historical unitary thirdness greater oneness of the opposites in a dualism it could powerfully and graciouslly enable solutions, progress and actual Wisdom.

Wrong! Its APPLIED philosophy…because that is what paradigms present and new actually are.

“The US$ is a simple public monopoly, already!” Its a potential public monopoly. The private banking system wields the active systemic monopoly to create virtually all new money…and the central bank, instead of utilizing that power instead bails the banks out when they screw up the system instead of democratizing the money system. But wait! This still isn’t the core of the core problem…which is the monopolistic monetary paradigm concept itself AKA Debt ONLY. Integrate the new paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting specifically at retail sale with a policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate and other policies to stop the banks and enterprise from gaming the new paradigm…and you mathematically double everyone’s purchasing power, integrate the normally opposed self interests of business and the consumer and transform chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation. The heads of the orthodox explode!

Its all about the new monetary paradigm because the ideas/paradigms behind our systems create and enforce their deepest realities. Starting Analyzing there is the essential and most efficacious place to start.

MMT is absolutely correct in its systemic analysis, but Mosler and all of the other leading economic analysts like Steve Keen and Michael Hudson ONLY analyze on the conceptual/paradigmatic level instead of the deeper conceptual/paradigmatic level. Sadly, that relegates their economic reforms to mere epicycles.

If we would cut the balls off of the head of the oligarchy, namely Finance and its monopolistic monetary paradigm for the creation and distribution of all new money AKA Debt Only by strategically integrating the new paradigm of Monetary Gifting into the Debt Only system, then we’d undoubtedly be securely on the road toward establishing humanity’s first universally empowered and so legitimate democracy.

If they don’t attend they will lose their 50% Discount and half of their $1000/mo. dividend.

Guaranteeing total monetary and economic freedom is not what the new paradigm does or is all about because it would end duality. Rather its about monetary and economic security which enables everyone to take a deep breath and frees them to more positively and effectively deal with the inevitable dualities of life.

GGG’s are highly recommended for everyone of course.

“The fundamental problem being that orthodox economics only thinks of inflation being caused by too much money. “

Precisely. And that orthodoxy exposes the fact that “free” market theoretics isn’t free at all. Why? Because in the human universe there is no such thing as TOTAL freedom, only freedom within known and enforceable barriers. Why? Because there’s this little thing called ethics. Its why you can’t walk into a theater and yell “FIRE!” Libertarians believe in TOTAL freedom and most other economic theorists (and even Steve Keen and Michael Hudson) have not cognited on this flawed theoretical framework let alone found a way to remedy the flaw.

“Free” market theory has no actual barriers to inflation and so is actually the absence of barriers AKA the unstable state of chaos. Put that together with the present monetary paradigm concept ENFORCED for the creation and distribution of all new money which is Debt Only and is it any surprise that Finance rules…and is the only business model to survive almost unscathed…from crises they originate?
The solution? The new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting implemented by a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale…and the rest of the freeing policy program that actually increases agent freedom and economic abundance by establishing known and enforcable barriers…within which freedom can actually be established.

Get real about the fact that “free” Market Theoretics isn’t free at all. but a chaotic, unstable and unworkable framework for the present monetary paradigm to dominate everyone and every other actually legitimate commercial agent because it does not allow the new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting and set up a new framework that has known and enforceable barriers within which there is actually much more freedom than there is now.

Without such a new framework all of the current economic problems we have like chronic erosive inflation, chronic austerity of individual demand and delusional attempts to reduce government debt by slashing deficits that are actually payments to the private sector will continue to leak out of the economic digestive tract and inflame modern economies.

You’re spot on as usual Anne. The best way to end inflation would be to implement a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale. Why? Because retail sale is the single universally as in aggregatively participated in point in the entire economic process and as macro-economics is about aggregates that makes this policy automatically have macro-economic effect. Also, as retail sale is the terminal ending point of the economic process where production exits the economy and becomes consumption it is also the terminal expression point for all economic factors…like inflation for instance. Thus if by double entry bookkeeping and the 50% Discount/Rebate you can get $100 worth of groceries for $50, a $60k EV for $30k and a $500k house for $250k you’ve accomplished what every historical paradigm change has done and that is, totally inverted the present problematic anomalous temporal universe reality, which in this case is it transforms chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation. But wait! What is the retail point of Finance? Why your monthly automobile, mortgage or other large loan payment. So with the 50% Discount/Rebate policy you can actually integrate the present wholly exterior parasite to the actual productive process AKA Finance by having the central bank pay for 50% of your loan payment enabling you to get that EV for a payment equivalent of $15k and that $500k house for the equivalent loan payment of $125k. Lots of other policies that shore up some of the other gaming, destabilizing and unethical things that “free” market theoretics enable in my book which you can get here: https://www.amazon.com/Wisdomics-Gracenomics-New-Monetary-Paradigm-Policies-ebook/dp/B0C49B9PX7/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1552358772&sr=1-1-catcorr

C. H. Douglas’ compensated retail discount policy was way ahead of its time, but he never envisioned and I myself didn’t immediately see that my 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale was both synchronicitous and serendipitous at the same time.

It was synchronicitous because it was implemented at the terminal expression point of inflation and with the policy having a very high percentage was able to transform chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation thus its “turning of the tables” effect enabled it to invalidate The Quantity Theory of Money.

The serendipidous aspect of the policy is that its gifting of price and so purchasing power not only created tremendous individual economic benefits and systemic economic problem resolving effects, but also evoked social happiness and relief and even more importantly the greatest opportunity to self actualize gratitude for a gift since meditation and prayer. In other words a change in the monetary paradigm surprisingly resolved problems in present social psychology and spirituality.
