Money: A Mirror Image of the Economy

Any economically viable region can create a currency viable only within its borders, use that created capital to build infrastructure and industry, and the circulation of that money will operate a prosperous economy. Simultaneous with the 800-year evolution from plunder by raids to Plunder by Trade, wealth and power established Western property rights law. Those laws appropriated massive sums of money which became capitalism's financial engine. But its efficiency is an illusion. Not only are those laws the foundation of poverty and wars, full and equal rights--as laid out by America's premier economic philosopher Henry George--creates an economic engine half the size with twice the power. The causes of war are eliminated, poverty disappears as technology spreads quickly across the world, a quality life for all the world's citizens can be had in two generations, and the employed labor time for each world citizen drops to 2 to 3 days per week.

The evolution from plunder by raids to plunder by trade began 800 to 1,000 years ago in the Free Cities of Europe. As those cities evolved into nations and those nations into empires, plunder by trade was plunder by both raids and trade was practiced. Plunder by trade has been the dominant feature of world trade since WWII. But the developing world is now aware and that structure of world trade may soon be history. In a properly established banking system, through adjustments in rquired reserves rather than changing interest rates, there need be no inflations or deflaitons. Created debt-free money can build most infrastructure, increasing required reserves in step with that money creation maintains a stable money supply. A proper banking structure can stop an economic collapse in its tracks. It can also rapidly industrialize undeveloped regions of the world. That proper banking structure, along with eliminating all other monopolies can reduce the workweek to 2 to 3 days per week with no loss of food, fiber, or shelter. World poverty can be eliminated in 10 years and a quality life for all can be attained in 50 years
