Why? Because new ideas, that is new paradigm concepts, 1) self actualized in the mind, 2) embraced by the heart and 3) APPLIED outwardly toward others and in our temporal universe systems enables the progressive phenomenon known as paradigm CHANGE and simultaneously integrates the cosmos of self with the cosmos in general.

All of what you say regarding neo-liberalism is correct. Full stop. However, the even deeper problem is that macro-economics almost entirely abstracts out the individual agent and thus it sets up an ethic that says Man was made for Systems…rather than Systems were made for Man. We need an ethical/humane macro-economics. We can accomplish that by integrating a new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting into the current monopoly paradigm for the creation and distribution of all new money which is Debt ONLY. The word ONLY designates it as a monopoly paradigm the same as Salvation Via Roman Catholic Sacraments ONLY was a monopoly paradigm and The Reformation ended that inhumane/unethical reality. We require a monetary reformation or the current dominating monetary paradigm wielded by the private banking system will continue to stand astride the world like a collosus…forever. I’m not suggesting we eliminate debt altogether, that would simply replace a monopoly paradigm with another monopoly paradigm. However, if we implemented a policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale 50% of all new money would be a gift that benefitted both commercial agents AND individual agents and (because your monthly automobile, mortgage or other big ticket item’s monthly payment is the retail point of finance) the retail discount policy would integrate finance into the actual economic/productive system instead of allowing it to be a dominating and very costly exterior parasite on everyone and the actual economic system. Applying the 50% Discount/Rebate at the retail point of finance would actually benefit the banks because if everyone got a 50% discount on price for consumer goods and then an additional 50% reduction when they bought a big ticket item (example: a $500k house is reduced to $250k at its purchase point, and then the central bank paid 50% of your monthly mortgage payment the individual gets that $500k house for a payment equivalent of a $125k loan)…the market for mortgages quadruples or more because virtually EVERYONE IS CREDITABLE!
GW: Complimenting Steve Keen: Super! From Ptolemy to Copernicus in Economic theory. Better late than never!
Me: Not quite. His systemic analysis is all perfectly true, but his remedy is more like Ptolemaic cosmology’s “epicycles”, that is, a (false) fix because it doesn’t penetrate to the core problem which is the monopoly monetary and economic CONCEPT of Debt ONLY.

Toward the the end of the podcast “they’ll blame the institutionalization RATHER THAN THE UNDERLYING CONCEPT”. Exactly. The underlying PARADIGM CONCEPT is where the deepest part of the problem actually is. So analyze THERE while considering the signatures of historical paradigm changes like complete conceptual opposition, complete temporal universe inversion of reality and integrative thirdness greater oneness/synthesis/resolutions instead of focusing only on problematic systemic dualities/problems which at best result in mere palliative reforms or worse yet “solutions” like bitcoin…which is actually an opportunity for Oligarchs and Whales to benefit from financial speculation which is a moral and ethical problem waiting to happen.

Me: Amend the FED’s charter to create and distribute money as a rebated gift to enterprise at the point of retail sale in exchange for them discounting their prices by 50%. Too simple for the intellectual vanites of the erudite…too world changing not to be a paradigm change in economics and the money system.
J: Seriously? Giving the money to the enterprise is no different than a rebate to the customer. The enterprise gets the same price, the customer gets half off. Their money is doubled by that Latin word called “fiat”- let it be so- and it would be wildly inflationary. Doubling peoples’ purchasing power would just cause prices to double.
Me: Not if you taxed inflations above 2% per annum at a rate of at least 100%. That you would just allow enterprise to game and attempt to destabilze the greatest increase in demand for every enterprise’s goods and services is indicative of the fact that you believe that “free” market theoretics is actually free. IT ISN’T!!! It (as you indicated by thinking that it would just be a perfectly acceptable matter of course if the merchants greatly increased their prices DESPITE benefiting from the doubling of demand) shows how devoid of known and enforcable ETHICAL barriers “free” market theoretics actually is. Its called CHAOS…NOT FREEDOM!
There is no one as blind…as those who will not LOOK and SEE!
Allowing enterprise to do so is perfectly analagous to the following example: You just won the lottery and you and your friend go to redeem the ticket. Your friend however hits you in the face as hard as he can and takes your lottery ticket and redeems it himself…AND THERE’S NOTHING WHATSOEVER WRONG WITH THAT…AT ALL!
The Quickest Way To Create Gratitude and Foster The Very Mental Process of Wisdom
For normally healthy people: Hold your breath until you think you’re going to die. It will force you to come into present time and realize how important and gratifyingly wonderful it is to breath…which you are generally completely unconscious of.
Looking, so as to see and experience, increases consciousness and appreciation/gratitude…and breaks up long term unconscious acculturation and habitually orthodox “thinking”.

Its inhumane as per usual. What if there was “a third way” out of the inevitably contentious seemingly unresolvable duality of capitalism vs socialism? The policies in Wisdomics-Gracenomics break up the problems of that long standing conflict with a new monetary paradigm that doubles everyone’s purchasing power thus doubles the potential demand for every enterprise’s goods and services, transforms chronic erosive inflation into beneficial deflation, and surprisingly, creates the greatest opportunity to self actualize gratitude for a gift of price since meditation and prayer. Serendipity is a signature of historical paradigm change. 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

NWOBT: What is the most likely, minimal bloodshed path back to a moral society?
Me: Good question. Implement policies that are universally required to be participated in for one’s very survival and that by that participation evoke gratitude like a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale. Who would have thought that changing the monetary and economic paradigm could be the means of unraveling the convergence of our problems including our neglect of contemplation/spirituality/wisdom? But then, such serendipity is an historical signature of paradigm change.

Do all of that and also implement a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale and you’ll rejuvenate profit-making economic systems, re-align them ethically and have the beginning of a greater political coalition than The New Deal…because the truest of political truisms namely “people vote their pocketbooks” IS true.
And all you have to do is use the incredible tool of double entry bookkeeping and change a single concept to make it a temporal universe reality.
Accounting: The Ultimate In Both Addition By Subtraction and Subtraction By Addition
Example: The 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale doubles/adds individual purchasing power by reducing/subtracting price by half using equal debits and credits that sum to zero.
Example: The 50% Discount/rebate applied to the retail point of finance, namely one’s monthly insurance, auto and/or mortgage payment further increases/adds to one’s debt reduction power as the central bank pays for half of that total price/cost thus doubling the market for creditable borrowers for new insurers, new autos and new homes.
The Off Planeting of Both Energy Production and Production Itself: The Ultimate Ecological Solution
And the fastest route to that goal is integrating the new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting into the economy because money is what gets things done.
