»Everything difficult must be planned while it
is still easy, everything great must be dealt with while it is small.
Everything difficult on earth always begins as something easy, everything great
always begins as something small.«
– Laotse
Chinese philosopher
Now we come to plan B, the official
introduction of the gradido in one or several countries parallel to the
existing system. »Official« means that there is a government decision (if
necessary a referendum) to phase in the gradido as a complementary currency.
For this we have elaborated a step-by-step plan, starting with a 10% gradido
share, which increases 10% in every phase.
A 10% gradido share means that a seller has to
accept at least 10% of the price in gradidos. They can accept more gradidos
than the minimum share. As gradido earnings are not taxed, it can actually be
an advantage to accept more gradidos. When the gradido share is 100% there is
no tax any longer.
International trade can continue without any
problems. Foreign customers can also pay the gradido share in gradidos if they
have some. Otherwise they pay the full amount the old currency. Conversely,
foreign suppliers can accept gradidos but if they do not they are at a
disadvantage vis-à-vis domestic suppliers. This creates an incentive for
foreign suppliers to accept gradidos and the gradido zone becomes larger. The
farther the gradido spreads, the more the advantages of the Natural Economy of
Life take effect in gradido countries. More and more countries join the gradido
zone until finally they are all members.
The step-by-step plan provides for an 10%
increase in the gradido share in every phase. If there is a new phase each
year, a 50% gradido share is reached after five years. The fifth phase is a
milestone when it makes sense to look back and take stock of what is already
going well and where there is need for improvement. We can learn from the
experience gained and can decide whether and at what pace we will proceed to a
100% gradido share.
