While I’m entirely convinced  A + B is correct, frankly I think a much better approach to convincing theorists, commercial economic agents and individuals is to stress the breakthrough nature of the dual policies of social credit, especially the discount in its linking both increased purchasing power and effective control of the pricing/payments systems. Theoretic s are fine, but the true test of any theory is whether or not its policies effect and maintain freedom and prosperity for economic agents and that’s exactly what the discount policy does. Also, in positing A + B Douglas was actually the first disequilibrium theorist and Minsky and Keen are simply re-discovering that reality. The temporal universe being in continual flux abhors and prevents equilibrium except for a moment. The real power of the dividend and discount is their ability to invert the scarcity ratio of A + B from cost inflationary to cost/price deflationary….and maintain that new inverted ratio.  If one examines paradigm changes it is found that fundamental inversions of position, primacy and/or actions/direction/vector are always there. The Copernican Helio-centric paradigm change was simply the inversion/change of position and central primacy of the earth and the sun. The paradigm change from hunting and gathering to agriculture was simply the inversion of moving about for the abundance of nature to staying in one place and gathering more abundance from same. And social credit has the potential to change the entire vector of modern economies from cost inflationary to cost/price deflationary, not to mention inverting the primary vector of human civilization from obsession with power to the transformative and inclusive vector of Grace.

…but the true test of any theory is whether or not its policies effect and maintain freedom and prosperity for economic agents. Wisdomics-Gracenomics does this in spades.

You salt it, marinate it with Grace, and if necessary, because it is absolutely determined to dominate and there is a rational end to patience, you cut it into a billion pieces and give it to someone sane and able to see that there is something above it.

…you’ll see that not only does the paradigm change everyone’s mind, it also is a complete mental inversion of the former paradigm and also ends the absolute rule of the former paradigm while becoming the new problem resolving idea.

Thusly, any economist who doesn’t think that Finance must step down off its structural and paradigmatic throne is fooling him/herself, and should ask themselves what is the opposite/inversion of the paradigm of Debt Only?

Answer: Monetary Gifting

A new conscious awareness is the beginning of all true advances, and the end of all spiritual and scientific investigations. And the realization that Grace is the pinnacle concept of Wisdom, Grace as in Gifting is the new monetary and economic paradigm and Grace as in integration-saturation the necessary monetary and economic policy effect…is the message that must take root in the individual’s consciousness so as to win the paradigmatic day.

Me:  The solution to the numerical anthropological conundrum is to directly and/or reciprocally make everyone relatively monetarily prosperous so that then every one of their 1 to 150 human associations will be more likely to have a smile on its face as opposed to a seething xenophobic and/or schismatic one. As the build up of Debt is the problem and the curiously monopolistic paradigm of finance is Debt as Loan Only, then monetary gifting seems to be the new paradigm to balance it and become the primary one of the two. The trick is how to democratically saturate monetary gifting and maintain that saturation with the best and most beneficial policy effects.

UN:  Money gifting ain’t gonna happen though. Why not make banks like venture capitalist firms that invest and help rather than simply loan?

Me:  According to SunTzu the best way to win a war is to convince the opponent he cannot win. As for making Banks VC firms, that’s probably a good idea, but in order for a new paradigm to saturate the economy you’re going to have to make as many firms as possible “an offer so good that they cannot refuse it.”

DB:  Debt jubilee would be a start. Then figure out how to keep the rent seekers from taking over the government again. We used to hang speculators well into the 1700’s and now they control the world…………. perhaps the past contains some hints.

Me:  A debt jubilee is an excellent idea, and I’ve always liked Henry George because he went deep in considering one of the three productive factors. Perhaps what we need is a fourth factor like a nation’s cultural heritage of productive capability.

…everything, consciously perceived.  And being pinned to hell is leaving anything unconsciously perceived.

The first will revolutionize and evolutionize modern economies, and the latter will provide a simple, elegant, integrative and utterly workable and applicable formula for reducing/eliminating the unfortunately all too prevalent tendency in human history to merely react to Life instead of resolve its conflicts.

The is no such thing in the temporal and conscious human universe as total and utter freedom. That would include the freedom to commit crimes. In the real world there is in fact only freedom amongst barriers and what I refer to as freedom within the beatific chains of ethics. Embracing the necessity of ethics is the sane approach to life and living, and striving to have the highest most gracious code of ethics is the best and most complete strategy for both individual and collective survival.

In other words grace/graciousness is the pinnacle ethic and goal of fully conscious human beings.

Interesting Francois. The Oriental mindset has been adroit at bastardizing/twisting social credit for some time now as Japan did before WW II and by being an export platform that continues to this day.  Their (Chinese) fears of political instability are undoubtedly at least partially based on the longstanding reality that the West has exploited and disrupted their affairs, but they also undoubtedly have problems with authoritarianism and power as well.  The best thing that could happen of course is for America and Europe to adopt Social Credit, re-industrialize and thus vastly reduce their need for the Chinese export platform and so inviting them to adopt the benefits of Social Credit themselves, or at least re-direct their exporting elsewhere.
