Finance and the Engine of Growth

The more I learn about finance and the way money actually works in the current systems that we have, the more I'm convinced that the individual needs to be empowered financially to make investments and to buy goods and services.

In order to do that, you need to redistribute the wealth down into the general population in the form of services rendered and wage increases for the general worker, some

times, at the relative expense of the top earners and the top money makers.

If the rich are unable and/or unwilling to preform this kind of duty to the rest of society on their own, it then falls to the government to do it for them.

And that, is how you grow an economy.

That is how you restart an economy (possibly on different and more beneficial terms than before, in terms of species health, well being and sustainability...those non-monetary factors that keep us alive as individuals and as a species).

And it's only in your little brain that it works differently.

Try it.

And watch.

It's what got us out of the Great Depression (World War II's spending).

It's what got Europe out of the economic funk it was in post-World War II (the Marshall Plan).

And it's what will likely, get us out of the current economic mess that we're in now.

And it's only in your brain that it works otherwise.

Try it.

And don't bitch when the results come out.

I won't.

Think about it.

I won't.

 

The engine of growth needs to be restarted.

And it needs to be restarted on more sustainable and lasting terms.

Think about it.
