Advantage 78 – Peaceful parallel introduction is possible

Excerpt from the book »Gradido – Natural Economy of Life«


»Those who make peaceful revolution impossible
 will make violent revolution inevitable.«
– John F. Kennedy
35th President of the USA

That things cannot go on as hitherto is becoming clear to an increasing number of people worldwide. The number of protest movements is increasing. Creative masterminds are working on solutions and many solutions already exist. In the economic sector as well there are already valuable approaches to solving the problem. LETS groups, regional currencies and movements for a basic income are approaches for creating sustainable alternatives from the basis.

About 15 years ago we discovered the natural fundaments of our new monetary and economic model. In connection with the »Joytopia« international research project and »Gradido« we continually went on developing the Natural Economy of Life. The present book reflects the current state of development. For some experts it is the most developed monetary and economic system in existence.

Its introduction would be accomplished fastest if the majority of the world population decided to end the old system and introduce the gradido on a fixed day. That is plan A, the scenario of the Joytopia story. As we do not know if this will happen, there are also plans B and C as alternative ways in which the Natural Economy of Life can already begin in the existing system and be further developed.

The common feature of all three plans is that the gradido is made known worldwide and people are familiarised with it. This can happen on several levels, such as internet websites, social networks, videos and in written form. The present book provides the basic understanding as to how the Natural Economy of Life works and can help transform our world back into a paradise again.

Plan B is the step-by-step introduction of gradido as an official complementary currency in single countries. For this we have elaborated a plan in phases, with which a country can immediately start once its population have decided on the gradido.

Plan C makes the gradido available as a community currency in social networks, organisations, initiatives, communes and communities of any kind. Here the gradido initially acts as a means of granting a discount. Participants in the gradido network give each other gradido discounts to any amount of their choice. The single communities can either install their own gradido servers or register their members on an existing portal, e.g. http://gradido.net. The gradido software is open source. If you are a programmer and would like to help develop it further, please contact us.

The three plans run parallel. We will know which of the three has been successful when we get there.
